Year 2 PoetryDaddy Fell into the PondEveryone grumbled. The sky was grey.We had nothing to do and nothing to say.We were nearing the end of a dismal day,And then there seemed to be nothing beyond,ThenDaddy fell into the pond!And everyone's face grew merry and bright,And Timothy danced for sheer delight."Give me the camera, quick, oh quick!He's crawling out of the duckweed!" Click!Then the gardener suddenly slapped his knee,And doubled up, shaking silently,And the ducks all quacked as if they were daft,And it sounded as if the old drake laughed.Oh, there wasn't a thing that didn't respondWhenDaddy Fell into the pond!Alfred NoyesBlast off!The rocket hums quietly. The engines now roar.They check all the buttons, the seats and the door.Mission Control starts the final countdown;TVs are turned on all over the town.For a moment it’s quiet, then whoosh they are gone.The ground shrinks behind them. The engines power on.Onwards and upwards through the clouds they now go;Houses and buildings left far down below.They look out of the window as darkness comes near.The Earth looks so tiny – there’s nothing to fear.The roar has now gone; it is quiet instead.A helmet sits tightly on an astronaut’s head.The planets fly by them – the colours so bright;Saturn and Jupiter shine in the night.Ruby red Mars now comes into view.A quick trip to Venus and Uranus too. The stars twinkle brightly still so far away;Maybe a rocket will reach them one day.Turning to Earth, journey’s over for now.Sights so fantastic you can only say ‘wow!’Aliens Stole My UnderpantsTo understand the waysof alien beings is hardand I’ve never worked it outwhy they landed in my backyard.And I’ve always wondered whyon their journey from the stars,these aliens stole my underpantsand took them back to Mars.They came on a Monday nightwhen the weekend wash had been done,pegged out on the lineto be dried by the morning sun.Mrs Driver from next doorwas a witness at the scenewhen aliens snatched my underpantsI’m glad that they were clean!It seems they were quite choosyas nothing else was taken.Do aliens wear underpantsor were they just mistaken?I think I have a theoryas to what they wanted them for,they needed to block off a draughtblowing in through the spacecraft door.Or maybe some Mars museumwanted items bought back from space.Just think, my pair of Y-frontsdisplayed in their own glass case.And on the label beneathwould be written where they got ‘emand how such funny underwearonce covered an Earthling’s bottom!Brian Moses ................
