Parody

Crazy Prisoner

Will you eat this satay

That fell into the bin

Even though you will lao sai

You must be pok kai liao

Will you eat this poh pia

That fell onto the mud

You are confirm gila

Time to go IMH

Will you try to be like normal

Will you blend into the crowd

Will you buy some decent clothing

And change it for you prison clothes

So... will you take take this challenge

Will you be prepared

Will you do anything

Will you dare to fight your way?

And will you take out your guards?

Will you seize their guns

Will you run for your life

Will you dare to shoot people?

Will you take this city

And hold PM hostage

For a massive ransom

That the country must pay

Will you try to be like normal

Will you buy some decent clothing

And change it for you prison clothes

So... will you take take this challenge

Will you be prepared

Will you do anything

Will you dare to fight your way

Will you run for your life

Will you dare to shoot people?

Dare to shoot...

Dare to shoot... people!

Limericks

Madman Jack

There was a madman named Mack

Who thought he was a lumberjack

He cut down the trees

With only his knees

And soon his legs he would lack

Dog and Cat

There once was a dog named Bobby

Who played in the yard with a tabby

They tore up the magnolias

Leaving only the dahlias

And was sent to SPCA for being crazy

Sound Poem

This is the sound poem continued from the worksheet. The first two lines were given.

I heard the owls hooting in the dark

I heard the sheep bleating beyond the hill

I heard the wolves howling at the moon

I heard the dogs barking in its kennel

I heard the horses whinnying in the stable

I heard the bulls bellowing beyond the pasture

I heard the bees buzzing above the flowers

I heard the frogs croaking on the lily

I heard the mice squeaking in a frenzy

I heard the roosters crowing at the dawn

I heard the turkeys clucking while gobbling seeds

I heard the pigeons squawking whilst pecking bread

I heard the ducks quacking when swimming

I heard the pigs snorting in the mud

I heard the cats meowing in the night

Life Poem

~Box of Matches

Life is like a box of matches in the dark

It needs just a tiny flame

To make it spark

Without the spark, you have no direction

But with it, the difference is stark.

This is my poem, and I will be explaining why I wrote it this way. The dark represents your life in general. The box of matches is your ambition in life. The next line, the flame is your source of inspiration, which brings us to the next line, the spark. It is your inspiration for your ambition. So, the fourth line, means that if you have no ambition, you have no idea where to proceed in life. So, if you have an ambition, you can see the apparent difference.
