HEAD LICE!
Mum driving home after collecting 4 out of 5 kids -
all with a good dose of
lice and nits.
Just a part of being a kid.
Itch! Itch! Scratch! Scratch!

The Festive Kitty
An Itty Bitty Poem

Jingle bells jingle bells
Our mother cooked a chook
Left it on the bench to cool
and paused to read a book—
Hey!
Cat jumped up, sniffed the air
and took a tiny taste
Then closed its eyes and lapped it up
that tasty chicken baste—
Hey!
Shoo shoo cat, don’t do that,
That’s our Christmas food.
Mother won’t be pleased at all,
‘twill mar her festive mood—
Hey!
‘Chicken, Abs?’ asked my mum
and Sis gave me the look.
I rubbed my tum. ‘It’s full of ham
and ain’t no room for chook.’
Hey!

Fluffies
By
Abbey Lane

My Fluffies were just right, until
Mum scooped them up and
tossed them in the wash.
'Noooooo!' Why?
What was wrong with...
A little bit of dribble,
A little bit of dirt,
A little bit of kitty,
and farts from a squirt?
And when they dried, they didn't feel right.
So, I did what I had to do...
A little bit of dribble,
A little bit of dirt,
A little bit of kitty,
and farts from a squirt . . .
PERFECT!
