A poem called ‘Being Silly’ …..
Sometimes you can be a bit nincompoopy,
You’re allowed the occasional huff.
You can cause a to-do, or a hullabaloo, or a mixture of all the above.
Sometimes you’re supposed to be just a tad loopy.
A twit or a twit twit a woo.
You can sound the odd poop, have a burp in your soup, or just scare complete strangers with ‘BOO!’
Sometimes it’s OK to speak gobbledygooky.
Blow raspberries or trump willy nilly.
You can play in the muck, eat worms that are yuck, but always, yes always, be silly!

Love it! Hope you’re going to write more. (I can imagine Quentin Blake illustrations to accompany this!)It’s the kind of poem that would have my 4yo in hysterics. Happy new year to you!
Brilliant:)
