The Kitchen Revolt

These Poems are just two of many from the book "THE KITCHEN REVOLT" by Marco Gliori

THE CHEEKY FROG

There was a green frog who lived in a log,

And only came out when there was a fog,

When no-one could see him, and guess what he did?

He used to jump up on the garbage bin lid!

Then, just before school when the children came out

To empty the garbage, you’d hear them all shout!

They’d reach for the handle, but what did they grab?

A fat slimy frog! Yes, a hand full of flab!

YUCK! It was awful! PEWK! It was sick!

The children ran crying and looking for sticks,

But when they came back there was no green frog —

He was home again laughing, safe in his log!

THE BIG GREAT DANE

While on the way to school one day

We had to go a special way,

And, as we walked down Pascoe Lane

We passed a dog — A BIG GREAT DANE.

His eyes were black! His head was square!

Stood four feet tall with bristled hair!

His ears were pricked! His teeth were white!

My brother then ran off in fright!

All my friends ran after him!

"SCAREDY CATS,"

I calmly grinned,

"RUN AWAY! YOU’VE GOT NO SENSE!

THE STUPID DOG’S BEHIND THE FENCE!"

I teased him, and I screwed my nose,

Stuck out my tongue and held that pose,

Then I saw it with my eye —

The gate was open! MY, OH MY!!

I ran so fast, I made no sound

Because my feet were off the ground!

I grabbed my brother, kept my cool,

Then ran like heck towards the school!

GROWLING, HOWLING, JUST BEHIND!

That big Great Dane had lost his mind!

"HOLEY DOOLEY! OUT THE WAY!"

We’d be the first to school today!.
