Here are some poems that I wrote
David
David
He likes computer programming
He is tall
Doesn’t watch or play sport
He works for QANTAS
He is a senior computer architect
The leaf fell to the ground
The leaf fell to the ground
As it fell the wind ripped it
The leaf was now shreds
I met a student
I met a student
He was a very racist guy
He was just a fly
English
Everyone needs this, but
Not everyone wants it
Good thing it’s compulsory
Like it? Yes
I do like it
So come on down for some
Hearty English
Cactus
Cacti do not like
Mayfly and
Cacti also do not like
The apple pie
Cacti are the most amazing
Things.
It’s a shame
They don’t
Have wings
I like to
Look at a
Cactus,
But only
Before
The spikes
Catch us
Tim
Tim-o
He is awesome
The computer hacker
Hacked into the FBI site
Hack; Tim
I hate
I hate getting up in the morning
I hate having to clean the flooring
I hate falling from a height
I hate possums in the night
I hate the rain falling down
I hate not having a gown
I hate it when my brother plays that song
I hate that my feet can’t fit in my thong
I hate having to do the dishes
I hate that we don’t feed the fishes
I hate to have a runny nose
I hate the sound of a car when it goes
I hate it when that guy tries to sing
I hate it when with a rubber they fling
I hate it when someone stuffs a pie in my face
I hate it when I lose in a race
But the thing that I hate the most
Is when we run out of toast
Happiness
Happiness is having a birthday
Happiness is meeting friends
Happiness is feeding a cat
Happiness is indescribable
Anger
Anger is when the computer has a blue screen of death
Anger is when someone cuts down your tree
Anger is seeing red
Anger is when the life support system fails
Poems
Length varied like a curtain
Similes spread like a cats claws
They have a meaning like life
Poems are enjoyable
Poems
The sea
Deep like a philosopher
Large as the harbour bridge
As blue as the pen I’m using
Fun to swim in
The sea
The fire
It is eating everything in its path
It is a cheetah running to catch its prey
It is an animal, needing to breathe
Needing to eat
It is electric emitting heat and power
It is evil destroying all
It is a fly, it drowns
Hickory Dickery Dock mark 2
Hickory dickory dock
Three mice ran up the clock
The clock didn’t work
So the mouse went away
Hickory dickory dock
Paradox
Is the answer to this question no?
This sentence is false if it snows
“Yields a falsehood when amended to its own quotation”
Yields a falsehood when amended to its own quotation
Do not read this sentence
If you know someone else, you are a lance
The first number not nameable in under ten words
If this is not true, there is an infinite amount of birds
Life
Life is like a pancake with maple syrup
Flat, but oozing with deliciousness
Life is like a dog with a stirrup
Joyful and exited, but heavy to carry
Life is like a cross-breed of a turtle and a cheetah
Sometimes it goes fast, other times it doesn’t
Life is like a metre
It doesn’t go forever
Life comes packaged with death
That is a requirement
Life is like that addictive chemical Meth
It is a drug

Video games
Video games can hurt your eyes
Video games can be more annoying than flies
Video games can be extremely fun
Video games can give you the ability to use a gun
Video games can be all about timing
Video games can be about flying
Video games can contain cheats
Video games can help you win the heats
Video games are used to train the army
Video games can make you feel funny
Video games can make us calm
Video games can also give us harm
Video games are very fun
Video games can’t help you run
Video games could be full of mazes
Video games can be one of the latest crazes
Video games can be enjoyable
Video games are employable
Cats
Cats are really amazing creatures
They like to groom their furry features
They like to chase a ball of string
They are very amazed with that thing
When I had a cat it attacked my cactus
We had to go see the medical practice
In the jungle there are a lot of cats
That don’t eat rats
In fact they even eat wildebeest
For them it is hardly even a feast.
These cats eat fresh meat
But because of the heat
They don’t need to cook their dinner
But it won’t make them thinner
But back to the domestic cats
That only eat rats
They sometimes are really crazy
But at other times they are really lazy.
Out to sea
We went to the beach one day
We came out at Botany Bay
So we all went out for a swim
But I strictly refused to come back in
I was warned by everyone
But I was having too much fun
So when I finally turned around
I could not see the beach, I found
I grabbed onto a wooden plank
Then jumped into a floating water tank
Inside I found a fishing rod
And a container that said “Infinite amount of bait for cod”
And so every day I would fish
And at dinner I would dish
Out bundles and bundles of seafood
On the item that said “BBQ” it stewed
Eventually after a year at sea
As it finally lost its mystery
I saw the faint sight of land
I wanted to go back their, but on the other hand
I had become used to sea
And the water tank that floated with me
But eventually I dragged the water tank onto the shore
And I admit that my heart was tore
But as I tried to find my mum
I realised that this was Belgium
“How did I get here?!” I exclaimed
As I tried to rack my brain
Then I realised that I had gone via the Arctic
And I had also gone passed the Antarctic
That is why it took a long time
And also why I never saw a lime
So I quickly tried to find a phone
But it seemed that I was alone
There was no town or community
There wasn’t even an opportunity
The largest thing that was there was an old collapsing tourist information shed
So I walked with my water tank until my head felt like lead
There I went to sleep in the tank
And in the morning I felt quite rank
But still I continued to walk along
Till I found a village called Jülküpünküng
Which I ended up living in
With some people called Mary and Jim
So this is the end of my epic saga
Bye to all, including you in Wagga Wagga
The umbrella
Today the date is the third of June
But all I can do is sit in my room
Because outside is a natural spectacle
Today you would not want a Popsicle
Outside it is pouring down
Even a baboon would give it a frown
As I look out my window and watch it come
I also watch the people run
To the safety of the undercover shelter
Several people just went helter skelter
Soon people came out with umbrellas
The smart little fellas
I too have taken my umbrella
And have gone to embrace the weather
When I was out there I met a man
Who, instead of an umbrella, had a pan
I asked him why
But he seemed to be shy
So he started to run
But another man took a gun
And shot him to death
And it was then that I left
Across the blood stained ground
And over that body of a mound
After I had witnessed this theft of life
And strife
I called the police
Who gave me a fleece
Then arrested the man
Who killed the man with the frying pan
As I walked home
I dropped my phone
When I picked it back up
It looked like a cup
Because it was full of water
It looked like manslaughter
