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!
