Archie Lea
Archie Lea liked archery
He loved his bow and arrow.
Stan did not, unfortunately
Because he was a sparrow.

Percy Veer
Percy Veer
Won the cup
For never ever giving up
Not so fast
Often last
Sometimes worse
Never first
He’d be lapped
Every lap
Every relay
He’d delay
Every hurdle
Was a hurdle
But …
In a sprint
He would not stint
He’d try and try
And try and then
He’d trip and fall
And rise again
Once
Lost in the triathlon
They sent out a search party
They found him
In a marathon
Last
But hale and hearty
The best he ever
Came was fourth
He’d never worn a medal
No bronze, no silver nor no gold
But now he’s got some metal
Yes, Percy Veer
Won the cup
For never ever giving up.
Presented to him by his mum
Percy was so chuffed
He stood upon the podium
And held the cup aloft.

Heart School
At Art School
In Hartlepool
A love affair began
When Ann drew Andrew
And Andrew drew Ann
2B pencils
Held in each left hand
Sketched a pair of portraits
One of Andrew
One of Ann
Andrew’s nose was straight
But Ann drew it really wonky
Andrew drew Ann’s teeth
As if she were a donkey
Her wheelchair he portrayed
As a chariot of gold
And even though he had long hair
She made his head bald
Their sketchbooks were soon filled
With oodles of doodles,
Squiggles and splats
One of their masterpieces
Was of three cowpats
Only they could recognise
The pictures on the pages
But all the other students guessed
Their love would last for ages.

Queue Wait
Wait in a queue in Kuwait?
In Kuwait that’s what you do.
Huw waited with Kate
From 2 ’til 8.
Their wait was so great
Their flight flew.

Flora, Shut The Doora!
‘Flora, shut the doora!
Please do not ignora
Our request, we know what’s best
The lecky bill will soara.’
She would not shut the doora
Although we did implore her,
So snow swept in up to her chin.
Now Flora will not thawa.
