__Sick Poems__
We wrote Sick poems as a class - using one rhyming couplet per post-it note, we then added our sticky note to the class poem - we snaked right the way down the wall and onto the floor! We had lots of fun!



Why not add your rhyming couplet below under "Peggy Ann McKay"

Why not write new couplets describing phony ailments or problems that would prevent Peggy Ann McKay from going to school? Then, you can insert your new couplets between Shel Silverstein’s first two lines and last three lines. And, voila—you’ll have your own version of the poem! Here are Shel’s famous first lines:

**Said little Peggy Ann McKay.**
I think I've gone & layed an egg There's a man in my toe called Greg (J.C)

My mouth has lost it's way ack home My knees are giving me a moan (J.C)

My ears are yellow as sun And now I cant have much fun.(A.R)

My brain is coming out my haed At this second i might drop dead.(E.S)

My eyes are popping out my head And been half eaten by my bed.(E.S)

My brain fell in my stomach My legs and arms got bitten off (C.G)

My nose is turning terquoise ahh a shell is growing on my back like a tortoise(A,H)

My nose is clogged and I cannot breathe Just listen to my chest; you can hear me wheeze (LB)

My tummy aches, it's filled with gas Oh no, I think this is a pain in the xxx (LB)

My neck is sore and my glands are tender Oh what a bore: Is there no ender? (LB)

Penicilin, sudafed, Tylenol too With all this medicine what's a body to do (LB)

__If I were and If you were ...Poems__
The //If-You-Were// and //If-I-Were// Poems consist of 4 lines (quatrain) and 2 rhymes (lines 2 & 4). Each poem contains 2 comparisons (metaphor), one for the “I” of the poem and one for the “you.” Instructions: Think of a person you like. Compare that person to some __thing__ (inanimate object). Now compare yourself to some __thing__ associated with the first object.

An example:

I’d read as slow as I could go So I never would get through.
 * If you were** the pages of my book
 * And I were** reading you,

Hello we are Nathan and Rebecca from **Carronshore Primary** this is our poem

I would tie you up so tightly, And never let you go.
 * If you were** my present on Christmas Eve,
 * And I were** the big red bow,

If you were a dictionary from the shelf And I were looking through I'd find the longest word of all To spend more time with you (Nicola and Jeanan)

If you were the only flower in my garden And I were the sun in the sky I'd shine on you all day long And pray that you'd never die (Kayleigh and Jeanan)

If you were a Christmas shiny bauble And I were a tall festive tree I would dance and prance around you And you would spend Christmas with me (Marc and Ryan)

My name is Faith Rose Charmng, but most people know me as Little Red Riding Hood. Well I am not so little anymore, I am even a size seven in shoes and I have my own job. I was born on the 13th October 1995 in a small cottage in the middle of the Forbidden Forest. In this my autobiography I will reveal the shocking truth from behind the scenes of the classic fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. Am I really as sweet as they all say?

I had a troubled few years as a child, it all began in 1999 when my father the giant fell down the household beanstalk and broke his mammoth neck when out shopping for some churns of milk. My mother never recovered but remained with me and we rebuilt our lives in the woods near Jack's old house during the summer months of 2000. This is when I met Henry the wolf.
