Mrs Appleyard Mrs Appleyard Says us boys Need a mum Because our clothes look old as rags and are twice as dirty Mrs Aplleyard Says we stay up Way too late And shout like demons In the backyard, Enough so her hens can’t lay. Mrs Appleyard Says the Department should know, And find us a real home, With a mother there When we get home from school. Mrs Appleyard says A man can’t bring up children alone. Mrs Appleyard. Mrs Apple yard. Go and get stuffed Steven Henrrick
I chose this poem because it has lots of similes. Poetry with lots of similes always makes me feel good. When I first saw this poem, I thought it was going to be very boring but after all this poem was great. Mrs. Hodgson recommended this author for me and he rights great poems. Out of 6 poetry books one of them caught my sight and it made me to read it.
