Limericks


Once there was a bunny who lived in a well,
His stories are the stories you would tell.
On a bright sunny day,
He went hoppiting far away,
And found himself back inside the well.





Little miss Mary loved to sing,
Of books and bunnies and things.
She sang beside the brook,
And her the waters took,
And now she has a halo and a nice pair of wings.


Mr. Grumpy was walking on the street,
He was terribly agitated by the heat.
Mr. Grumpy went quite far,
But he didn’t see the car,
And now there is no Mr. Grumpy on the street.

(Didi wrote half too but Iwrote all the last lines and a little more besides.)

VAMPIRES...


Some people find them scary
Some people find them boring
Some people find them hairy
Some people say they’re always snoring.

Some people find them pretty
Obviously I mean the girls
Some people find them witty
Some even find they’re hair done up in curls.

I find them exciting
And a little disgusting too
I’d make a better werewolf than a vampire
Because instead of sucking, I like to chew!

He and I


I see
I hear
I stumble
I run.
I scream
I shout
I spoil
The fun.
He comes
He eats
I am,
No more
The cat
Comes in
Through the
Open door.

I wrote this when I was feeling very hungry and I just saw a mouse running across the room.

HUNGRY



I went down to the kitchen, to find something, for my hungry tummy,
I opened the refrigerator and found lots of things which were really very yummy.
There was a roast chicken, fingerchips and a chop,
I took a plate and put them in, with a little hop.
I already knew that these things were for my dinner,
But as I looked at the plate, I became hungrier and hungrier.
I took the plate upstairs kept it on the table, and went into my room to wash my hand,
Then, I suddenly remembered that my sister had asked me to make a song for our band
I thought, “ I’ll do it later’’
(Cause the hunger in my tummy was becoming greater and greater.)
I washed my hands and came out, as hungry as can be,
But! Oh my god! Nor the plate , or the food could I see.
Then I saw my maid,
With the plate,
And I burst into tears,
And just when I was thinking that tears don’t help, a noise came to my ears.
The ice-cream man! what a joy! And my piggybank is full of money,
I rushed down ,my pocket jingling, and nearly tripped over my dog , Honey.
I ate three ice-creams and I wasn’t hungry anymore
And being hungry makes me bad – tempered and sour.!

I wrote this in class two, so please note that I don’t write such silly stuff anymore.
And the picture above is supposed to be Honey's picture.I didn't get any others.

Harry the Potty



The dewdrops made my feet wet as I walked along the grassy path. It was a very quiet morning even though the apes from the Primate house were screeching with all their might.Too quiet . Nobody was up yet. I wouldn’t have been too. If it wasn’t for that nice tinkling sensational scream , I still would have been asleep. It came from the village. The villagers must have heard it too because from a distance, I could see a hustle and bustle going on though I couldn’t hear any thing.

As I came nearer to the village, I heard a babble of excitement and saw a great crowd.
“ Poor guy! Must have been a very happy painful death” Said a villager. I pushed my way into the crowd and saw a very young boy with glasses lying dead on the ground . I could now see why the villagers thought he had died a painful death. His face was deadly white and he had a look of great terror. “ Move away please , move away…..merlin’s beard! It’s Harry the potty!” said a voice behind
me- the doctor had come. There was a weeping woman called aunt Petunia standing opposite me , in front of the crowd. There was a man called Uncle Vernon standing next to her, looking as though the whole of London had been destroyed. “ It must be the uncle and aunt of the boy.” I thought.
Another boy was wailing and weeping all over the dead guy’s chest. Name:Dudley.
The doctor was kneeling down , examining the boy. “ Do you know how he died?” Said the father . “ I’m licking.” Said the doctor. A few minutes passed and then the doctor straightened up and said, “ No signs of how he died. Mister. He wasn’t murdered by a man. He didn’t die naturally. There’s something nice going on in this village.” A man laughed.
“ That’s just true superstitious nonsense.” He said.
The doctor stood up and said, “We need to get him to the worst hospital in town .Somebody ride an ambulance. I have to ask an expert’s opinion.” He then looked around the crowd and said , “ Well, what are you lookin’ at? Move closer please, move closer.” But still the crowd didn’t move. After one moment they all started shouting and screaming and ran away wherever there was space . A few minutes later , the ambulance came and I was looking at the back of the departing ambulance.

“ Just look at the lucky little boy , look at his expression” said my mother. The boy’s death had been all over the news.

CHAPTER ONE

He waited nervously- his hands were shaking and blood was showing in his handkerchief. Suddenly, a black car drove up and stopped beside him. The door opened. He could not see the driver but a voice said, “Get in.” The man got inside the car nervously. He still could not see the driver’s face. “I did the job.” He stammered. “Good.” Said the driver. “Now it’s time I do mine.” He took out a gun and pointed it towards the man’s face. “ This is just in case you blabber about it to anybody. I’m doing it while I still have the chance.”

The gun sounded loud in that lonely part of the country. While driving beside the river the car door opened and the body was thrown out into the river.

CHAPTER TWO

“ There will be quite a lot of work today.” Said Kate. “ One murder, a body missing, I don’t know how we can get to the bottom of this. It’s too much in one day. I’d better get to work fast. I just can’t be late today.”
“ Do you want me to drop you off? I’ll be going that way today.” Said Jack.
“ Thanks.”

“ Do you have any suspects?” Asked Kate. “No. Not a single one I’m afraid.” Said James. “But I have a job for you. Go with Michael and question the people around that area. I have to deal with a troublemaker. Apparently, the shopkeeper caught a fifteen-year-old boy trying to steal doughnuts and his excuse is that he just wanted to examine them to see what flavor they were.” Kate chuckled. “Well, wish me best of luck and may we find the murderer before dawn.” She said and went off to find Michael.

CHAPTER THREE

“ I didn’t see anybody except for the farmer’s son. He always comes here to give us milk. I think it’s jolly kind of the farmer as Granny is really old and the milkman doesn’t come this far out in the country to sell milk.” Said the little girl.
“ Are you sure you didn’t hear anything?” asked Kate.
“Well, now I come to think of it Granny did hear something like a gunshot late in the night. She was quite frightened to hear it and she woke me up. But we didn’t hear anything else.” Said Janet (The little girl).
“ What time did your Grandma hear it? Did you notice?”
Asked Kate. “Well, no. I don’t think I noticed.” Said Janet. “Could we see your Grandma?” Asked Kate. “Well, if you would really like to. This way please.” Said Janet and led the way into the old cottage.






“Well, I went to sleep at about 8 and I was sleeping peacefully and I suddenly woke up at … I think it was about 3:15 when I was woken up by a noise and now that I come to think of it, I’m sure it was a gunshot. I was frightened, I was. I woke up Janet, here and we didn’t here anything else. And then Roger, the farmer’s son came at 6:30 and gave us milk. It’s very kind of him.” Said the old lady.
“Well, thank you for all the information you gave us and it’s very kind of you to see us.” Said Kate. “ Thank you very much and goodbye.” And they went back to the car. “ Well, we know that the murder happened at about 3:15.”
“ Don’t you think it’s a bit funny that the old woman happened to notice the exact time?” Asked Michael. “ Well, I missed that bit out. But we can’t jolly well barge in again and ask her that. She’d think we were suspecting her.” Said Kate. “Well, so we are.” Said Michael. “ But we can’t suspect an old woman and a little child!” exclaimed Kate. “Sorry Kate but every single person we meet is a suspect.” Said Michael.
“ La la la la la “Sang Kate. “Poo, poo, poo,poo,” Sang Lucas
“who are you?” Asked Kate. “I’m a vampire!” Said Lucas. Kate stopped the car and started running. Lucas skipped behind her with his brand new skipping rope. “I’m gonna catch ya!” He sang.
