Carl Burkitt

Sneezes are fireworks
bursting out your nose.
Trumps are musicians
blowing their trombones.

Yawns are explorers
keen to see the world.
Coughs are dusty rags
trying to unfurl.

Tummy rumbles are lions
searching for their prey.
Snores are tired piglets
chatting about their day.

Hiccups are frogs
jumping with glee.
Burps are yummy foods
saying Thanks for having me!

I woke up one morning
completely upside down.
You should’ve seen me
putting on my dressing gown.

I woke up the next morning
completely inside out.
You should’ve seen me
flopping around my house.

I woke up the next morning
completely back to front.
You should’ve seen me
trying to eat my lunch.

I woke up the next morning
completely made of sand.
You should’ve seen me
washing both my hands.

I woke up the next morning
completely normally.
You should have seen me
as bored as could be.
