We read some stories and poems from Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl. Then we innovated on the writing style to make up our own poem. We used a rhyming website to help us find good words to use. Here is my poem.

Humpty Dumpty went on a stroll
When he found an extremely tall wall
He noticed that he had some spare time
So he started to climb and climb

He sat down and noticed how high
He was very worried and started to cry
He wailed and wailed and started to tip
And suddenly… trip!


He fell and fell at a dangerous speed
He started to pray and plead
Then he went splat on the ground
And waited ‘til he could be found


All these weird businessmen
Couldn’t make him better again
They grabbed some clay and flex tape
And they started to reshape


He didn’t look like an egg anymore
He looked like a drawer plus a door
He got a wrecking ball
To get revenge on that very tall wall


His enemy came down to the floor
It doesn’t stand anymore
He grabbed all the bricks to make a house
Which he sold to a person named Jouse
