Monster poem:

 

Julie Rose is a monster

She arrived from another planet

They’ve been watching her ever since

Never knowing who she might convince

That we are not really here

That we are in a gigantic screen

That we are small and insignificant

And never should have really been

That we thought we touched down on the moon

And thought we may have visited Mars

When all that was going on was in our minds

It was only ever ooo’s and aaah’s

Yes, Julie Rose is a monster

Sometimes pink and sometimes green

She flits in and out of character

And is very seldom seen

Sometimes she finds fellow aliens

Who recognise its only a dream

Now she’s finding plenty of playmates

They’ve been having a giant game

Of cops and robbers, soldiers and dollies

Instead of playing right here in the earth

Making mud pies and lying in the long grass

Staring up at the skies

And laughing.
