Poem Week 1 Poem Week 2

Saw my teacher on a Saturday! I can’t believe it’s true! I saw her buying groceries like normal people do! She reached for bread and turned around, and then she caught my eye. She gave a smile and said, “Hello.” I thought that I would die! “Oh, hi.. hello, Mrs Longden,” I mumbled like a fool. I guess I thought that teacher types spend all their time at school. To make the situation worse, my mum was at my side, so many rows of jars and cans

My Neighbour’s Dog is purple!

My neighbour’s dog is purple, Its eyes are large and green, Its tail is almost endless, The longest I have seen. My neighbours dog is quiet, It does not bark one bit, But when my neighbour’s dog is near, I feed afraid of it. My neighbour’s dog looks nasty, It has a wicked smile, Before my neighbour painted it,

so little room to hide. Oh, please, I thought, don’t tell my mum what I did yesterday! I closed my eyes and held my breath and hoped she’d go away. Some people think its fine to let our teachers walk about. But when it comes to Saturday’s, they shouldn’t let them out!

Still can’t believe I saw my teacher on a Saturday!

It was a crocodile!
