Pellies (Limerick) by Graham Seal

1 Comment
By australianchildrenspoetry September 10, 2026

There were flocks of hungry Pellies
breaking into deli’s.
They filled up their beaks
with enough food for weeks
and returned when they’d emptied their bellies.

Custard (Limerick) by Graham Seal

There once was an eater of custard,
who one day became quite flustered.
He cleaned off his plate,
but realised too late –
he’d mistakenly eaten some mustard.

Through the moon window
Silver light softly trickles
Into mirror pond

candy coloured twists and twirls

little wicks charred and curled

melted wax holding fast

to memories of birthdays past

VILLAGE by Graham Seal

By australianchildrenspoetry February 10, 2026

Dr Seuss said it all:
‘A person’s a person,
no matter how small’.

Let’s say the same for a village:
It isn’t the size that matters,
but how many hearts
call it home.

Some call him

Father Christmas,

Some call him

Saint Nick.

Others say he’s

Santa Claus –

We just want him to come

QUICK!

Bees by Graham Seal

Hear the humble bumble

of the buzzy wuzzy bees,

as they flitter and they flutter 

through the flowers and the trees.

Gathering in sweet pollen

to take home to their hive,

where they make the runny honey

that helps the whole world thrive.

Ah, Springtime! by Graham Seal

Ah, Springtime

All that nature in the air,

blocking up your nose.

Spores and pollens everywhere,

and then your nose explodes.

Allergies of every kind,

afflicting me and you –

quick, bring an antihistamine,

ah choo!

ah choo!!

ah choo!!!

Ah, Springtime!

Mr Whippy by Graham Seal

By australianchildrenspoetry July 4, 2025

When kids hear the ice cream van

tinkling through the streets,

they know that Mr Whippy

is bringing frozen treats.

When parents hear the music,

they know they’ll have to pay,

they’d rather Mr Whippy

did not come every day!

The Medal for Mums by Graham Seal

Leave a comment
By australianchildrenspoetry May 11, 2025

This is the medal for mums.

For conspicuous bravery 
in the face of children.

For selfless service 
to every nation.

For unnumbered lifetimes 
of sacrifice.

But most of all,
for love.

For ever.
