By Alex aged 6

Once upon there was a cheeky little monkey
Who played a funny trick on me
He saw me walking down the street
And snuck a banana in front of my feet
As I stepped, it went squish
I landed right on my tush
My feet in the air
Banana everywhere!
That naughty little monkey laughed until he cried
He laughed so hard he nearly died
He laughed so much he didn’t see as I put
A ripe banana in front of his foot!

Downstream

Alcoholics call it the moment of clarity
No doubt it will be the cause of some hilarity
I’ve spent many years honing my mantra to life
One to get me through times of panic and strife

It seems I allowed it to slip my mind
And it was unbelievably hard to find
I hope you don’t mind if I share
My thoughts on the matter here

Take the salmon – a fish
A tasty supper dish
He spends his life swimming upstream
Can you hear his embattled scream?
When he finally arrives at the top
He’s got one good fuck before his heart will stop

Take the duck
Who doesn’t give a fuck
He floats downstream with a lazy quack
Let life’s troubles run like water off his back
He follows the summer sun
In search of good times and all sorts of fun
Flies through the skies
‘Til the day he dies
I think I’d rather be a duck

All this background rhymes and context
Is to set the stage for another promotion concept
They want a wheel
They’ve got one
We lost the appeal
They won

The Hungry T-Rex by James

Once upon a time
A T-Rex went out to dine
“Mmm,” he said, “I’m think that maybe
“I’ll have a juicy dinosaur baby.”
He ate it up and cleaned his plate
“That was awesome, that was great!”
On Monday he had an empty tummy
He thought, “I need something yummy!”
He gave a might T-Rex roar
And ate up every dinosaur!

The next time he went out to eat
He couldn’t find a single piece of meat
So the big old nasty greedy guts
Had to live on fruit and nuts!
Soon, the T-Rex had quite enough
Of noshing on veggies, nuts and stuff
He yelled, “I’m going into space
To find another eating place!”

He travelled far, he travelled wide
Across the universe’s great divide
He ate up everything he could find
Leaving nothing at all behind
But when he ate up little Pluto
His tummy began to grow and grow
It blew up like a big balloon
Into the size of a big full moon
And POP he went and off he blew
In between the stars he flew
If look up into the sky
You may see T-Rex fly by

That’s what happens when you’re rude
And stuff yourself with too much food
