WHEN I'M HUNGRY
By Josie Whitehead
If Granny was a biscuit
And Granddad was a cake;
If Mummy was a lollipop
And Dad a nice milkshake –
​
If my sister was a toffee
And my brother was a bun;
Why, when I felt quite hungry,
Then I’d eat them every one.

So, I was asked, on one occasion, to pick up two grandchildren from school and, on the way to our home, which was an hour away, I kept hearing the words: 'I'm hungry'. So, with a poetic Granny at the steering wheel, what did they expect to get in response? Yes, the above poem and I have to tell you that they screamed with laughter. I hope that this poem goes down well in your class and you can tell me if it does. I LOVE the beautiful illustration which was done for us by the wonderful children's illustrator: PETER HUDSPITH. I'd love to have my poems published with his pictures to accompany them - - - - but, you'll say, they already are . . here. You're right. Josie
