Moo-Moo The Doodle and Other Children’s Poems

FLIPPETY FLOPPETY WORLD
It’s a flippety floppety world
with wibbly wobbly trees
and dibbety dabbety fields
and a zippety zappety breeze.
It’s a flippety floppety world
with a dingly dangly sun
and splishety splashety seas
and happety hoppety fun.
Oh it’s a flippety floppety world
with a stickety stackety sky
and plippety ploppety planets
and a moon that’s a custard pie.
WE VISITED A RAINBOW
We visited a rainbow
at school the other day.
Every colour said hello
except for gloomy grey.
We visited a rainbow,
and used its arch to slide,
then when it started raining,
we used the arch to hide.
We visited a rainbow,
but never saw its gold.
Our teacher said it’s locked away,
but we think it’s been sold.
We visited a rainbow,
and now we’re best of friends,
so brought it back to live with me
until the school year ends.
NEVER!
Clean up your room and make it better.
“I’ll never do it, ever, NEVER!”
Put on your coat, just look at the weather.
“I’ll never do it, ever, NEVER!”
Do your sums, I know you’re clever.
“I’ll never do it, ever, NEVER!”
One last chance, or funfair, no!
“I’ll do them, done them, come on – let’s go!
HENRY THE HORN
Henry the Horn
gave out a big yawn
and woke up the trumpet next door.
The trumpet then stirred,
and all that was heard
was a very loud musical roar.
HOW CAN I GO TO SCHOOL TODAY
How can I go to school today
and leave my cars behind.
They may get sad and start to cry.
It would not be too kind.
How can I go to school today,
when spider’s climb my wall.
I need to keep an eye on them
in case they start to fall.
How can I go to school today,
there’s far too much to do.
I need to ride my bike, and run,
and shout out ‘Bum’ and ‘Poo’.
How can I go to school today.
my earwax is so smelly.
If it falls onto all my friends,
they’ll soon be Zombie jelly.
I cannot go to school today,
but I may reconsider,
if I can have a plane,
