Brilliant Poet Conrad Burdekin

So pleased to share this brilliantly hilarious poem by Yorkshire based poet Conrad Burdekin from his latest book.

Supersonic Gran

 

My gran has got a problem

She only eats three things

Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts,

And baked beans from a tin

 

My gran is rocket-powered

Her bottom sure is chronic

She flies so fast it’s made the news

My gran is Super – Sonic!

 

She has a bowl of sprouts for lunch

Followed by some beans

Cauliflower spread on toast

You know what all that means!

 

By half past two her tummy’s moaning

After three my gran is groaning

Four o’clock she cannot walk

And then her bum begins to talk

 

My gran is rocket-powered

Her bottom sure is chronic

She flies so fast it’s made the news

My gran is Super – Sonic!

 

Blasting through our kitchen wall

She really is a sight

Whizzing, zooming, bottom-booming

In the dead of night

 

 

 

But best of all on Christmas day

Gran ate a thousand sprouts

She clutched her rear, said: “Sorry, dear!”

And let a huge one out!

 

Loud enough to shake the house

It smashed mum’s favourite vase

As through the roof my grandma shot

And landed up on Mars!

 

My gran is rocket-powered

Her bottom sure is chronic

She flies so fast it’s made the news

My gran is Super – Sonic!

 

P.S. Grandma, if you’re reading this

We’re feeling rather glum

We miss you such a lot, you know,

We even miss your bum!

 

World War One workshops in Cumbria!

Although it was foggy and cold in beautiful Cumbria the World War One workshops with Years 1, 3 & 4 at Richmond Hill Primary School were excellent!
