Week 26 Write a fun/nonsense poem using Prefixes

Spellings : Inattentive, Inconvenient, Incredible, Impatient, Irresponsible, Improbable, Impractical, Anticlockwise, Illegible, Illuminatingly


My mother said to me,
“Don't be an impractical man, and get mother a frying pan"
Said I, being an irresponsible brat,
“Now why on earth should I do that?”

Two long impatient tentacles reached for my back,
And send me swirling anti-clockwise onto her lap.
With an incredible surge of power,
The lady began to slap my rump for an hour.

After this terribly inconvenient session,     
The foul hands pushed me off her prized possession.
The illuminatingly gleaming eyes shone brightly on her face,
And she bellowed at me, “You ignorant squirt, I'll send you to space”

The illegible face fixed on mine in a snarling manner,
Like an improbable bar code scanner!
The inattentive menacing black eyes shot at me,
Until I stayed quivering on the spot like a palm tree!

So you see, I’d have your mum any day than mine
Because I’m sure yours is absolutely divine!

  1. His motionless expression matched the dull weather that hung about in the air around him. The cold, raspy breeze presented a startling effect on his skin, consequently causing goose bumps to form. Although he was wearing a woolly jumper made from the skin of a tiger, he shivered more than ever under them, longing for warmth to find its way to him. On the other hand, his sister galloped wildly on the grass while he watched her feeling less enthusiastic than usual, his thoughts wandering as to how his sister might be surviving through this weather.
  2. Mrs.Dixon bent her head and glared at her pupils down her long nose, so that her glasses almost fell off the long nose it was hanging to."I thought I asked for silence, Claudia! Get on with your work now!"As long as Mrs.Dixon kept her class quiet, her estimation of making a good teacher would raise higher among the staff. Otherwise her class would be considered the worst in the school, and she would have to pay the price for it, therefore receiving a never ending lecture by the strict principal. However her mood was not improved when the principal walked in. He alternatively made these little trips to her class room, and he was about to say something to her when he abruptly stopped as a paper aeroplane hit him on his nose."I'd like to have a word with you Mrs.Dixon he muttered. The colour drained out of Mrs.Dixon's face. This was far worse than the end of the world.
