Once there was a boy named Fred...

Once there was a boy named Fred in Norway,

and he knocked Santa off his sleigh!

The reindeer seemed to say, 'oh, my!'

And Santa said, 'Ouch, my thigh!'

'You naughty boy! Come here and stand!'

'Don't run away, do as I command!'

And Fred seemed helpless; and there he stood,

he knew what was happening was definitely not good.

Santa picked up the boy with great ease,

and to him he said,

'Guess there's a present less to give today,

ain't there, little Fred?'

And then and there, with a wave of his hand,

Fred's present turned into a handful of sand.

So remember, this Christmas, don't  be naughty, but nice,

because maybe your present might turn into lice.

Ho ho ho.....

The Queen

The royal guard works all day
And works all night
To make sure the queen doesn't get a fright
And everything is perfectly right.

As the queen is better than the rest
She should always get the best.
Her every wish is our command
Because she is the one who rules our land.

The mighty king was just and wise
But due to his sad demise
The only one left to rule
Is the queen who's actually quite cool.

"No more of these silly gowns!
And someone, get rid of this heavy crown!"
The queen helped everyone in need
And never showed any signs of greed.

"Hurrah!" The people cheered. They loved their queen.
They promised to take care of her every need.

Pastries and pies,
Waffles with cream
Nothing but the best,
For Her Majesty, the queen.

Her food was brought on a silver platter
And the queen grew fatter and fatter.
Gifts from her subjects adorned her walls,
Royal tailors made her dress up like a doll.

One day, the Queen announced to the people of the land
"To show you my gratitude, all work shall be banned!
It will be like a holiday that never ends!
What are you waiting for? Go celebrate with your friends!"

All the people happily said,
"Yay! Lets never get out of bed!"

And that's when things got out of hand,
Because all work had been banned!
The farmer couldn't grow any crops
The candy seller couldn't sell any lollipops

No one could leave their homes anymore
The explorers couldn't explore
Even the doctors couldn't cure the sick
The magicians couldn't perform magic tricks

Soon everyone was starving,
Including the queen!
Now everyone thought

That the queen was really mean.

As the queen grew thinner and thinner,
She understood
That her law to ban all work
Was definitely not good!

The queen then canceled the law she made
And to her subjects she said,
"I'm sorry that I made such a big mistake,
But now you can get out of bed!"

The people cheered and realized
That the queen was not that bad
And then everyone got back to work,
Really, really glad.

Halloween

Dressed as witches,vampires or ghosts,

dozens of children walk down the dimly lit lane.

They knock on doors turn by turn,

waiting eagerly for a bunch of candy corn or maybe a candy cane.

The door creaks and opens as they cry,

Trick, or Treat!

With smiles on their faces they count the candy,

they have gotten to eat.

Their costumes dazzle in the moonlight,

their candy bags are stuffed with treats,

as they walk home, munching and tasting,

one or two of the delicious sweets.

At night,
when the moon is full,
and the stars  are twinkling,
children are asleep,
dreaming.....

Witches fly past their windows,
ghosts appear through the walls,
pixies zoom out of their closets,
scarecrows are playing with their balls...

Screaming, shouting, off they run,
with teddies in their hands,
awake, now, they leave,
all those magical lands.

April Fools!

I can't wait for tomorrow,

it's April Fools Day!

I've thought up a million pranks I'll try,

be prepared, I'm warning you today!

I'll drop a stink-bomb in the swimming pool,

I'll use some paint and 'redecorate' your favourite stool.

I'll juggle with your show-pieces-this is just a start,

I'll eat up your ice-cream and your pop tart.

I'll sneak up behind you,

and turn off the light,

I'll scare you until

you run out of sight.

I'll blame you for throwing

my cat out of the house,

I'll chase you away,

like some teeny-tiny mouse.

I'll draw graffiti on your walls,

I'll spray paint your door.

I'll empty your trash can,

all over the floor.

So now you have an idea,

of how my plans are like.

Don't worry, you have another day,

before I strike.

NO SALARY FOR YOU, SANTA......

Santa lived with his family, his wife,Cream Claus, his son Mint Claus and daughter,Candy Claus.One day, Mint Claus and Candy Claus started to complain. They said,"How come we do not get any pocket money even though we help you all year making and packing gifts?" Santa Claus was angry. He thought," When they were small, they were happy to help me. Now, I don't know what has happened to them!" Mrs Claus could see he was too angry to even speak. She replied instead of him. " Don't you understand? You should be happy to know that others are happy because of you. In giving we receive, remember?" 

Mrs Claus stayed firm, only for a week, though. On her birthday, she didn't receive any gift - she was waiting for her gift all day. By the evening, she was boiling mad.She gave Santa a disgusted look.  But all that Santa said was "You know that it is December...I cannot afford to spend any money at this time of the year."Mint Claus and Candy Claus giggled. 

A week before Christmas, Santa was checking if he had packed all the gifts and he realized that he forgot to make one present- a blackberry mobile. He looked at his own phone- it was the same model. He didn't have time to make a mobile, and he didn't want to give his own phone either. He thought,"It's not fair! I spend all year making and wrapping gifts and I don't even get any money! He called the 'Gifting Authorities' and told them that if they wanted him to work for them, they would have to give him money. The minister sighed. He knew that Santa and his family had forgotten all about the 'pleasure of giving'. 

The minister sent his P.A. to Santa. At first Santa thought that the P.A. had come to give him his salary, but the P.A. said that he had come there to show them something. The P.A. showed them videos of the kids who had gotten the presents last year. The Claus family was delighted to see how many kids they had pleased. By the time the P.A. finished showing them all the videos, Santa and his family were ready to please kids all over the world again, only this time with double energy. 

All Alone

She seemed like an angel when I first saw her,
I thought she was the perfect friend.
I thought the day would never come,
when our friendship would end.

We played together all day long,
we had so much of fun.
We had sleepovers at each other's house,
and played with her dog, Bun.

One day though, she announced,
that she was shifting away.
I gasped in horror as I realised,
we might never again meet or play.

Tears filled my eyes as I said goodbye,
and her car disappeared from view.
I clutched the teddy bear that she had given me as I thought,
"this is too bad to be true."

I don't know why, maybe no one liked me,
I didn't make a single new friend.
I felt very lonely and I felt like crying,
I felt as if in front of me, there was a dead end.

After 2 years, my friend came to visit,
and I was overcome with joy.
To my surprise she treated me,
like an old, forgotten toy.

I tore apart the teddy she had given me,
I clenched my fist as I thought about the attitude she had shown.
Then I strengthened up as I thought that I had to carry on,
even if I was lonely and all alone.

Soccer

I bought a brand-new photo frame,
to put the picture of the time I won the inter school soccer game.
I kicked, I blocked, I was certainly the best.
I made goals, I dribbled the ball and I outdid the rest.

When we won the game, my teammates cheered.
The girls of the other team made rude faces and jeered.
As if I didn't notice them, I smiled wide with pride.
The girls of the other team just stomped and cried.

The audience clapped,
my school flag flapped.
My teammates lifted me onto their shoulders,
when a few teachers came with a few folders.

They gave away the prizes with smiles on their faces,
and, finally, came the trophies in clear glass cases.
When I saw the shiny trophies, I was filled with glee;
to my surprise, there was a trophy, just for me!!!
