JOSIE'S POEMS

Minibeast Poems for Children

By Josie Whitehead

Who Likes Snails ?
Who Likes Snails for Breakfast?

What do you eat for breakfast?

      Is it cereal or toast?

I’ll tell you what a blackbird eats:

      He likes a snail the most.

 

What do you eat mid morning?

      A biscuit and a drink?

I’ll tell you what a blackbird eats:

      A wriggly worm, I think.

 

The school bell rings at 12 o’clock.

     What will you eat for lunch?

Now ask the blackbird what he likes:

      'Oh a spider’s nice to munch.'

 

It’s time for home so goodbye school

     And off back home you scoot.

For tea you’ll have some fish and chips

      Whilst the blackbird likes his fruit.
