Electricity by Claire

Poster by Jessica

Whitfield State School, Cairns

Electricity runs through my veins
while you are playing video games.
I am a battery, strong but small.
But you would not think that at all.

You would think I’m small and weak.
But my chemicals can hurt if they leak.
Do not ever set me on fire
for my power is too strong to desire.

I am the power of toy trains.
I am the power of video games.
Do not open me for what is inside.
It’s something that is meant to hide.

 

Mum’s Slimy Horror by Tilly

I made a box with mucous goo
worms and even fish.
I gave it to my mother who
took it as a gift.

She thought it was the shower cream.
When she came out I heard her scream.
She was absolutely covered
in slippery slimy goo.

I hope this never happens to
me and you!

 

Saliva by Victoria

Smear stretches
squiggle squeezes
yucky gross
saliva’s greasy

Oily splatters
gloopy glops
in my bedtime
saliva drops

When my Dad isn’t looking
I put saliva on the door
It’s no use it just falls off
and lands on the floor.

 

Frothy Frogs

Frothy frogs are like
squishy slimy slugs
and they eat
squirmy oozy bugs.

They live in
the mucous-filled swamp
and there’s a sloppy icky place
where they eat.

It’s called the Domp.

 

Slippery Chips by Maegan

Chips are golden ripe and ready
Have I seen some vinegar or ketchup?

I ooze slippery vinegar on the American plate …

Put on some ketchup so the dribbling smooth
slippery chips slip right in your slimy mouth.

 

 

Slimy Goo by Irwin

Slimy goo rolls all over my arm
but it doesn’t do any harm.
Slimy goo rolls all around
but it doesn’t make a sound.

Slimy goo is on my hood
then I drop it in the mud.
Oozy goo in my slimy bed
then it drops all over my head.

 

Jellyfish by Phoebe

Jellyfish picture by Phoebe

Jellyfish are really smooth
They are ever so wobbly
Fish that glide in the ocean
Living in the sea
They’re slimy
Like a snail on a barn gate
You and me think they’re gross
Although we can’t touch them
Because of the sting
When they sting they really hurt you
So here are the jellyfish.

 

Jolly Jelly by Callum

Jolly jelly wobbling all over
even in the fridge.

Lovely squashy squishy jelly
making lovely jelly waves.

Looking very squished.
Yes it’s very squished.

 

TV Dessert by Milly

I like to eat jelly
that goes in my belly

while watching the telly
with my best friend Ellie.

 

 

Silly Shampoo by Lauren

Silly Shampoo picture by Lauren

It always falls off my hand
It slops when it drops
It smells of heaven
Always smells of horribly nice stuff

Makes your body covered in shampoo
When it falls off your head
you hair will be smooth as a snake.
That’s all about silly shampoo.

 

 

Flying Shampoo by Rosie

Shampoo slops and drops
down on the ground
Flies out the window
spins round and round.
