Happy Halloween
I love Halloween.
It’s nice to be seen.
Children dress up and have fun.
From door to door they like to run.
Pumpkin pie I like to eat.
But most of all I want a sweet.
Rockets fly in the sky.
They can go very high.
I like the bonfire every year.
Just remember to stay clear.
Halloween, Halloween, spooky Halloween.
Look out for the ghost he is nowhere to be seen.

Family
Family are very important,
Always there for you.
Making sure you’re always happy,
In what you choose to do.
Love you more and more each day.
You know they’re very special in every little way.

My Pet Dog Jake
I have a pet,
His name is Jake.
I always bring him
To the lake.
He likes to swim,
He likes to bark,
And he loves to run around the park.
My dog Jake’s the greatest mate.
He always waits for me at the gate.

Autumn
Autumn leaves are red and gold,
Until the wind blows strong and bold.
Trees are now getting old.
Until the spring they'll stay asleep with
Mice and baby animals hibernating at their feet.
Nature is at her best.

My Sister's Baby
My sister has a baby
And when I want to mind him
She says maybe
He has ten little fingers
And ten little toes
And every time he goes out,
He gets a little red rose.

The Horse
Jessie is the name of my uncle’s horse.
She runs around on a racing course.
She jumps over the big back gate.
She gets up early, she’s never late.

My Sister
My sister is an alien, one from outer space.
You’d know that when you look at her,
You can see it in her face.
She’s scare you with her stupid ears,
And frolic around with her teddy bears.
If you saw her at the dinner table,
The way she scoffs the meat.
And when she takes off her smelly shoes,
You’ll smell her horrible feet.
She packs her face with make-up,
Because she is so ugly.
I’ll let you know, this is all made up,
It’s about my bestest buddie.

Waves
Waves lapping on the beach.
Sand as soft as a peach.
Water sparkling blue and green,
The nicest colours I’ve ever seen.
Fishes dancing in the sea,
Oh I wish that it was me.

Halloween
You can get a fright in the night
You can get a scare anywhere.
You can gather nuts and fruit
And sometimes gather loot
Children everywhere in costumes
As fireworks sound boom after boom.
That’s why I like Halloween.

Happiness
Happiness is bright blue.
It tastes like strawberries and cream
on a hot sunny day.
It feels like the velvety touch of a soft peach.
It sounds like the whistling of birds
on a sunny morning .
It smells like the sweet smell of jasmine.

Cheese Burger
Slice the bun right in two.
Slightly toasted good as new.
Sizzling burger in the pan
Looks so yummy, thanks a lot Mam.
Tomato sauce, squirt in the middle.
At the moment I can feel my mouth dribble.
Melted cheddar, right on top,
Sesame seed just makes it the tops.
So get your hands off!
It was made for me.
My Mum made it,
Just for my tea.
