Mr Pavlova's Comb-Over: 7 Children's Poems

1. I’m Mr Pavlova’s comb-over I flap in the wind like a wing An when he is washing his bald bits I like to hang down like a swing Rapunzel had hair long and golden And braided, a beautiful plat I’m Mr Pavlova’s comb-over I’m sort of a permanent hat. 2.Dog-Speak Round the World Bowf-Wowf says the Scots dog Buaf-ouf barks the French Bow-wow calls the English dog At cat, or ball, or stench. Brippi-Brippi, Italy Is where you’ll hear that sound Gong-gong’s Indonesian Where Asian dogs are found Bahk-bahk yaps the Thai dog Wan-wan the Japanese Gahf-gahf growls the Russian Wang-wang is Chinese! 3.The Box Archie’s pet’s a tortoise Betty keeps a fox Katie’s got a goldfish My pet is a box I put four wheels beneath it To take it for a walk What I love best about it It listens when I talk Row row row the boat Row row row the boat Beware! It’s sprung a leak When your bottom’s soggy You must turn the other cheek 4.The Chilli Monster Underneath the doughballs In my plate of liver I saw a chillie monster Give a little quiver I asked what had upset him He said it was the meat It wouldn’t sit beside him ‘Cause it couldn’t stand the heat 5.Dear Agony Uncle Dear Agony Uncle, I’m a pimple A zit, a protuberance, pure an simple Why does everyone love a dimple But nobody, nobody loves a pimple? 6.Doppleganger I am a wriggly maggot, my brothers call me Freddy I’m fat and cream and wormy and a bluebottle’s my Daddy I chew up rabbit’s eyeballs, dance in dead seagull’s tummies The only place that I’m not found is inside Pharaoh’s Mummies 7.Gatecrashers A skulk of foxes, a trip of goats Set off with a pod of whales Along with a smack of jellyfish And a slither of Spanish snails They followed a colony of bats To a squash of rhinoceroses Where a sloth of bears were whooping it up With honey upon their noses A murder of crows dropped by to peck The cakes and patisserie Till a bounce of kangaroos gate-crashed The party at half past three
