THE FLOI R Purple makes me think of a purple f lox.-er Sometimes this flower may need a good shower This purple flower has a little red bed. And though he ' s a flower he still has a head This purple flower can sway this way and that, He ' s sort of a tree because he ' s so fat. Once this flower was oh! so small, But now he ' s so old that he ' s grown very tall. Paul Trapnell. EASTER POEMS ON EASTER NIGHT On Easter night, When nothing was bright. The Easter bunny came. He was not too fat and not too thin, And he was very game i He took some baskets and hid them, And when the children woke again, They looked and looked and finally found The baskets lying on the ground. Paul Cochrane. ' Though winter is not very sunny. An Easter bunny is very fmnyl Grass pops up, snow disappears, And that ends winter with Easter cheers ! Roderick Kerr THE TOI ' JER Once there was a tower sotaLg, And the tower could do a fimny jig. The tower was made of bricks of red, And under there is a cemented bed. The tower has a big fat steeple. Inside the steeple are funny people. These little people made the tower jig, And that ' s why the tower is so very big. Paul Trapnell.

LIKERICKS There was an old man from Gran Who fell in a frying pan, He was so hot, Quite red he got, Until he found a fan. Richard Shears . There was a man, who when little, Fell casually into a kettle. But growing too stout He could never get out; So he passed all his life in that kettle. David Birch-Jones . IN mYPT Once upon a time I v ent to Egypt. VJhen I got there, there was a magic carpet. On it, it said to sit on it, so I did. I sat on it and it started to fly, it took me to a far off desert. There in front of me there was a big castle. The castle v as made of rocks and slaves made it. VJhen I was half way around it I saw a slave working. Just then men surrounded me and each man had a whip. Ihen the King came in he said I would have to be a slave like the other man. The slave work was to chip rocks and make a house out of it, then you had to chop some wood and make furniture out of the wood. (continued)
