POEM FROM JESSICA

This is a poem sent to me by a Y3 girl called Jessica. Thanks Jessica! So... her it is...

MY FUNNY BUNNY

I've got a bunny who is very funny
He likes to be out when it's sunny
His teeth are long and his legs are short
That's why my bunny is funny!


Round of applause for Jessica please! And Jessica, keep on writing poems. They're good for the soul!

BADSWORTH J AND I and sheep that are blue!

Badsworth Junior and Infants School very kindly hosted me on Monday, and I was VERY well looked after by the delectable Mrs Laycock (nee Bunting, and still the name I want to call her whenever I see her!). I spent the whole day in her Year 3 class and what a pleasure they were to work with. Funny, enthusiastic, and, best of all, creative. Some of the threats in our 'Wars of the Roses THREAT FACTOR' were genius. I was also very chuffed to receive a poem and a picture from Bradley the following day, courtesy of Mrs Laycock, who popped in after work. When I get my scanner working I'll post the picture Bradley drew, but for now here's the poem. It's brill, and it's one he made up in the playground on Monday whilst I chatted with the other children and Mrs Laycock shivered uncontrollably in the cold...


A POEM ABOUT A BLUE SHEEP

A sheep in a heap went to the loo
And got turned blue
He went to the zoo
And did not get fed
And died in bed
With a red head


Written by Bradley 13/12/10

Thanks so much Bradley! I loved it! And the googly eyes on your drawing are brill. I've read the poem to Alice, my four year old, and she keeps saying 'read it again, Daddy, read it again.'

BUYING MY BOOK!

Well, thanks to a rather creative and very clever man called Danny (www.dannycope.com), my book is now available to be bought online. Hurray! So, the Hungrumptious Blumpfh is online and ready to be bought. Just need to get people to come and buy it. Although the first print run has done well...over 1000 copies sold since July and now onto my second run. Who would have thought it? Not me in my wildest dreams!
