The what if poemAs I lay in my bed a little whatif crawled into my head. Whatif I am late to school? What if my classmates think I'm a fool? What if I'm not in science on time? What if my locker is covered in grime? What if I dirty my brand knew tie? What if I fall over and start to cry? What if I lose all my important math books? What if my classmates give me nasty looks? What if my teachers are very mean? What if my face turns bright lime green? Wait I think theyv'e left me alone, to go and find another home. By Hannah Spelman, 11, Grammar School, Guernsey. Sept 2005 | Guernsey Not many people know about Guernsey You try to tell them and they think your zany Now listen closely and listen now I will start with a guernsey cow. They give us milk and builds up our bones But they are real fussy and take over our homes Now they may be animals but their clever you know They sleep in our beds and make us feel low At the dead ofd night one by one They creep into houses when the owners are gone They eat all our foods and take back their milk They wear your best pyjamas Yes! The ones made of silk So don't be stupid next time you see a cow Tell them you know their plan And tell them now! But next on my list lets not delay Are the tomatoes you see Yes, thats what I say. They are evil you know you better beware Or will be in for a scare! Thet are true Guernsey tomatoes, with the accent you know But if you feed them a little they grow and grow They take your bicycles and your cars They fight with the cows and have massive wars So next time you come to Guernsey Think again go to Jersey (boooooooooo!)
