A bit of a random selection of some of my recent poems.

Teachers! Teachers!

Teachers! Teachers!
They’re the strangest creatures.

Miss Twitch is a warty witch.
Mr Bryant is a bone-crunching giant.
Miss Blake is a poisonous snake
And Mrs Abercrombie is a crazy zombie.

Teachers! Teachers!
They’re the strangest creatures.

Mr Gizzard is a wicked wizard
Miss O’Toole is a gruesome ghoul.
Mrs Benneton is a bony skeleton.
And Mrs Abercrombie is a crazy zombie.

Teachers! Teachers!
They’re the strangest creatures.

Mr Sweaty is a hairy yeti.
Mrs Flagon is a fire-breathing dragon.
Mr Duke is a grisly spook
And Mrs Abercrombie is a crazy zombie.

Teachers! Teachers!
They’re the strangest creatures.

Mr Cape is a ginormous ape.
Miss Spatula has fangs like Dracula
Mr Knoll is a fearsome troll
And Mrs Abercrombie is a crazy zombie.

Teachers! Teachers!
They’re the strangest creatures.

Miss O’Keith has bloodstained teeth.
Mr Yoga is a grotesque ogre.
Mr Dread is a headless head
And Mrs Abercrombie is a crazy zombie.

Teachers! Teachers!
They’re the strangest creatures.
