A POEM IS A FERTILE EGG
The mad sealybat
flies high in the sky
looking down at the world
with his big green eye
flapping flying hurrying by

The Cowbug all nice and brown
lives in Ottiepool town
on a big rug covered in slugs
down in Ottiepool town

He goes to town dressed in a gown
even though it makes him blue
to wear one daity silver shoe
He stuck his ears with very strong glue
whenever he saw anyone he knew

A giraffe that swims is an unusaul thing
but a fish that can reach the trees?
These creatures combined may not look refined
with spotted gills and scaly knees.
It eats branches for breakfast and plankton for tea
It can run and float and kneel
which can be quite useful when chasing its tail.

Alison Dixon


The fat Cathippo drunkenly
swims like a brick to the bottom of the sea
and finds black and blue coral surprisingly
eating flowers

Steven Taylor

The tawny Beefox flies
over the dusky fields,
its gossamer brush dusting the treetops
seeking its timorous mate.
