I have to read a favourite poem in assembly tomorrow (as do all the other teachers). What would you pick?

much appreciation to all the above. My first thought was 'something brief'.


The Bunny Poem - Pam Ayres:

I am a bunny rabbit,
Sitting in me hutch,
I like to sit up this end,
I don't care for that end, much


Spike Milligan

The Rain

There are holes in the sky
Where the rain gets in,
But they're ever so small
That's why rain is thin.


The Hippopotamus

I'm not frightened of Pussy Cats
They only eat up mice and rats.
But a Hippopotamus
Could eat the Lot of us.

I know Spike's Silly Verse for Kids was already referenced above, and I don't have me copy to hand, so that's made up titles (I think they had titles, didn't they?) and sourced from an unreliable internet where people seem to repeat them from memory, so there are lots of conflicting versions, some with 'there' for 'they're' even, goddammit. Teach 'em better.

Emptied of expectation. Relax.
