Y8 Poetry from Other Cultures.


In One Restaurant 

by Georgina P


The smells from the oven

Make my taste buds tingle

The flavours combining

Being cooked in the middle

 

The lasagne cheese melting

The pizza cooking through

Spaghetti carbonara

And bolognaise too

 

Poppadoms with curry, and

Mango chutney

With naan breads too

Don’t eat them in a hurry

 

Baguettes about to burn

Snails being dead

Cheese stinking out the place

And that’s enough said!


Burgers in bread

Smelling really nice

The hot dogs in their buns

Let’s hope there’s no mice

 

Fish and chips

Being eaten on the beach

Don’t forget about the pasties –

That wouldn’t be a relief!

 

All these countries combined

Make the perfect restaurant

The food is all amazing

No matter where it came from.

 


It's fine!­­­­­­­

 

You can leave the lights on in the living room,

Draining your electricity,

Causing the power plants to pump out more of a fume.

But guess what... It's fine!

 

You can discard your crisp packet on the street

Allowing it to be swept away by the wind,

Ending up in the Ocean sea.

But guess what... It's fine!

 

So now you may be thinking,

Should I make a stand?

Should I do something,

To save this very land?

 

Don't be silly,

Don't be a fool

Allow the water to rise,

Like in your neighbour’s pool.

 

Keep your tap flowing,

Keep it on hot,

It's fine I tell you,

Or not!

 

The baths overflowing,

The fish are draining out

The floors all wet

Someone else will sort it, no doubt.

 

Do something,

Do it now,

Stop the ice from melting

Or it'll end in a row!

 

Oh, you're so stupid,

Why d’you listen to me,

You melted them cubes of ice,

Don't you see?

 

The planets in manic,

The earth is doomed,

Everything is over,

It's all darkness and gloom.

 

Is it done?

It was over so quick

Had it all happened,

Like a flick of a switch?

 

What's this your fault,

Or was it mine?

I know one thing for certain,

It's no longer fine!
