POEM

Wasps

by Daphne Lister

The wuzzy wasps of Wasperton

Are buzzing round the plums

And sucking all the juicy ones

Before somebody comes

Don’t disturb them if you go

Those wuzzy wasps can STING !

POEM

Grandad says ………

By Irene Yates Grandad says when he was young

Cars and trash were never slung

On to pavements, into streets;

Bags from crisps and wraps from sweets

Went into pockets, not in gutters –

“Blooming mess!” he always mutters.

“Keep things tidy, keep things clean –

Make our world fit to be seen!”
