The Hackit Broon Thing by Ellie (click on my name to listen!)
The beastie crawlin up me arm
Eight hairy Lang black hans
Nae bonnie but broon
Its clarty hoose in the gairden
Is on me flooer pot
The wee beastie makin me scunnered
Drivin me up the wa
It winna leave me hoose
Stays inside to play
I’ve tried splating it wi books
But it doesnae really stay
I hate the hackit broon thing
Its crawlin up me leg
I’m nae proud o the beastie
When my mates come to stay
I flicket o me leg
It skites and hits ma wa
Nae moving and nae lowpin
I think I kilt it efter aw.

The Papingo by Emma
The scruffy yella papingo
Fit a bletherie wee thing
Talkin awa to itsel a the time
Eatin the left oers
Fit a bonnie midden.
A the carfuffle cleaned up
Just as ma maw came in
She hates the wee thing
The wee yella papingo Bletherin awa to itsel
My ma aint happy Thinkin a pittin it awa
Now I’m nae happy
Pittin it awa
I da think so
Tell ya if she does
I’ll be ginging wee it

The Bubbly jock by Rachel
The bubbly jock was affa tottie
A mingin, peelie-wally, yella tousie o a thing
Bides in an auld ganzie in the gairden
Wheechin aboot, makkin a muckle din
A glaikit bubbly jock bein coorse
Greetin noo, disnae want tae be the denner !
