RABBITS
All God's rabbits share one bad habit
If you grow a carrot they sneak up grab it
They dig up your turnip, parsnip and spuds
Eat all the good ones and leave you the duds

CATERPILLARS

Caterpillars are stupid
All they do is eat
They’ve got three thousand pairs of legs
And twice as many feet

UNREQUITED LOVE
A woodlouse declared his love for a mouse
But the mouse was not convinced
She ran off with a millipede
And he hasn't seen her since
 
EARWIGS
Earwigs live in old men’s hats
With maggots, slugs and flies
They like the smell of Brylcreem
And dandruff tastes real nice
 
HONEY
If bees make jars of honey
Do wasps make jars of Jam?
Did earwigs make my Marmite?
I’d better ask my Nan.
 
POO
Dog poo is dusgusting
Cat’s poo is much cleaner
Worms poo tiny walnut whips
And maggots?… semolina!
 
COOKING
My Mum puts flies in current pies
And mouse poo on my bread
She fries my eggs in horses’ snot
And brings them up to bed.

OUR NEW YOUNG VET
My Gerbil, Bill, got very very ill
So we sent off for the vet
He said "You gotta feed him dog food
As much as you can get."
Now he wags his tail and barks a lot
And his nose is very very wet

A millipede went walking
over to his mum
he found it very hard to run
with his woggly bum!

from Jess (10)

Millipedes can run quite fast
But they don't win any races
Cos they always get stuck on the starting line
Tying up their laces
from Caryl (age - it's a secret!)

An acrostic from Jess:

MOUSE

Mouse
Open door
Up her bars
Silly sausage
Eeek

and one from me:

Mouse
Out of her cage
Up my leg
Squeek
Eeek!
