Funny Poems for Children

THE SMELL DETECTOR
By Josie Whitehead
There was a strange smell in our classroom -
Well, ‘strange’ was not the word.
The boys said smells were made by girls
But the girls said 'that’s absurd.'
Mid morning’s when the smells began;
They were awful, that’s quite true.
Oh, I don’t want you to be upset,
But we thought it might be you!
When our fan came on, it was much worse,
For smells can travel far.
They reached the office of the school
And where Mum sat in her car.
Bad smells fly over hills and dales
And towns and cities too,
But who on earth was making them?
We were sure it must be you!!!
No-one admitted what they’d done
And not one face went red.
‘Who’s made this smell?’ the teacher cried.
‘Did you hear what I said?’
No-one replied. Nobody knew . . .
And the children were upset.
‘A smell-detector’s what we need,’
Came our poor teacher’s threat.
Next day she came, machine in hand,
And we noticed she was looking.
What did that smell detector say?
‘That smell’s school dinners cooking!’
. . . Only joking!!!
