Cat in the Hat #WorldBookDay @booktrust #poetry #Prose4T

the year is the last

the wardrobe is bare

so this world book day

I had nothing to share

I sat down with mum

we sat there, we two

I asked for ideas

she had quite a few

but all her ideas

were wrong or too tricky

so I sat and I thought

I might have been picky

Then bump! An idea

I knew just what to do

I went to the book shelf

And pulled down a few

I found just the one

The one above all

The one full of rhyme

and humour galore

This is the book

This is the one

This is my character

This has to be done

I gathered some paper

Just red and white

I took it to mum

It gave her a fright

Really? she asked

That will be great

She might not have thought that

When working so late

On the hat oh so tall

and the bow oh so large

But I think you'll agree

without any charge

that the effort was worth it

my mum and me

we got it together

do you agree?

so today in year 6

the last dressing up

for this world book day

I am no pup

I'm a cat in the hat

Of that you can see

I might not win the prize

But it's made me happy

Oh and by the way

This poem of mine

It's inspired by Seuss

And it's mum's, not mine

(Rachel, 10)
