ENGLISH

Both these poems are about mystery creatures.

The Alien

The alien

Was as round as the moon.

Five legs he had

And his ears played a tune.

His hair was pink

And his knees were green,

He was the funniest thing I'd seen

As he danced in the door

Of his strange spacecraft,

He looked at me -

And laughed and laughed!

Julie Holder

Challenge

The Mystery Creatures

They dwell on a planet not far

from the Sun.

Some fly through the sky, while

others just run.

Some have big heads which are

hairless as tin,

while others have hair which

sprouts from their skin.

They dig food from dirt, and

gobble dead meat.

The young squeal like pigs if you

tickle their feet.

They slurp, burp, and grunt;

their manners are bad.

Their eyes become waterfalls

when they feel sad.

Well, who are these creatures?

Can you guess who?

The answer is easy: it's you, you, and YOU.
