Poem
Plumpyflumpy was a sort of hippo/giraffe Its rump was huge like a hippo With a neck sooooooo long, that’s where the raffe bit was. Plumpy loved to wallow in a muddy pool oops I forgot to say that Plumpy was a young girl. Sooo she had to wear a swimming costume when in the water It was bright green with purple dots all over it, made poor Plumpy look like a giant mushroom with a rash. Did she care nooooo, she was free from lessons free from chores that her Mam would find for her , off she waddled to the pool, excitement, making her tummy rumble. Down she plonked herself with a loud splash in the water Plumpy closed her eyes in pleasure. Suddenly a horrendous noise filled the air whewwwwwwwww it went it was Plumpy her aching tummy full of gases, slowly, getting released, the noise was like an orchestra tuning up. whewwwwwwwwwww So very loud, not very easy on the ears or nose. Poor Plumpy, she just wanted to cool off. Suddenly a bright idea was had by Rattycat Why don’t we sing to mask the noise of Plumpy So that’s what they did, they jumped into the water Held hands in a circle and waited for the escaping gases to commence . Wasn’t long and the noise of thunder started rumbling through the air They looked at each other, started singing together like a dawn chorus well sort of but not in tune. Plumpy was so thankful to her friends Come home for tea I made banana bread this morning So off they skipped and jumped down the lane Plumpy, Rattycat, Thumper (he didn’t go in the water] cos rabbits not keen and Smellyskunk. Now he had a bad body smell loads of the time so a dip in the water was like nectar to the gods, to his friends. Last of all Chunky Monkey, he was doing his Tarzan act going from tree to tree chanting Banana Bread Banana Bread Banana Bread for me yeahhhh What a lovely day it was for Plumpyflumpy with wonderful understanding friends.
