Jack’s Winning Poem

on September 9, 2011

The chal­lenge set to the local com­mu­nity (any age — not just kids) as part of the vil­lage fes­ti­val, was a poem that was less than 200 words and included the word ‘smile’. I think they picked 5 win­ners and he has a £10 book voucher wait­ing for him so is a happy boy.

I am not sure this was exactly what they had in mind but I think it’s absolutely bril­liant :) :) The best poetry has some truth behind it and there is noth­ing truer than the last sen­tence :)

 

The Happy Jogger

He quickly jumped over the stile

He’d been run­ning half a mile

He was going for a 3 mile goal

He did every step with a happy smile.

 

He was all smiles

as he ran 10 miles

He jumped over stiles

as he ran 10 miles.

 

But sud­denly I don’t know when or how

Out of the field came a big, fat cow.

It gave the jog­ger some­thing he didn’t want now

A pat on the head.

 

As he trudged home mile after mile

When you’re cov­ered in cow­pats it’s hard to smile.
