JOSIE'S POEMS
Funny School Poems
By Josie Whitehead
BETTER THAN THE REST
By Josie Whitehead
When father put his glasses on
And Mum said: 'What’s that, dear?'
Brett wasn’t quite sure what to do
But felt a surge of fear.
​
Agitation soon took hold of him -
He broke out in a sweat -
For when he saw his school report,
Foreboding then hit Brett.
​
His father’s face began to cloud,
For there upon that page
Were words a father doesn’t need,
Which turns a mood to rage.
​
'Brett’s lazy, careless, idle, dull;
He’s shiftless, slothful, slow;
He’s unpunctual and indolent!' -
They hit Dad like a blow!
​
His mother’s brow began to crease:
'But look - I’m quite perplexed.
Our Brett has come top of his class,
So he’s better than the rest.'
