Poems for Big Kids Let’s Be Silly! The Moonless Night Rolli Oh, please. Oh, please! The moon’s not cheese. It’s golden-crumbling tummy-rumbling crispy-flaking hungry-making butter-fluffy oven-puffy rich and tasty PASTRY! How do I know? Where’d the moon go? Well ... You’re right to be suspicious– it was delicious! Venice Simon Leigh Venice is sinking! What were they thinking? Cities don’t float— Build a boat. 28
Poems for Big Kids Let’s Be Silly! Sydney Opera House Evelyn Roxburgh My friends all waved goodbye to me And I set off the world to see. The Sydney Opera House I viewed And said, “I cannot be so rude, “But tell them, please, they’ve got it wrong: I never heard a single song. The Opera House is wholly dumb - I’m quite convinced it cannot hum.’’ I waited there all afternoon But never heard a single tune. I hope if I return again It might release a short refrain. I asked some people passing by If they had ever heard it try; But no, they never heard it sing Or chant or trill or anything. I asked a horse as last resort. It answered quickly with a snort, “Of course the Opera House can sing. I hear it now. It’s practicing.” He started swaying to the beat, Then tap danced backwards down the street. “Quick, let’s depart! I have to flee Before this madness gets to me.” I quickly hopped it on my toes, But from the Opera House there rose An aria as sweet and soft As Angels singing up aloft. It swelled and floated even higher And sounded like a whole church choir. The music filled my heart and ears, And almost brought me close to tears. I have to tell you, come what may, The Opera House can sing all day; And I enjoyed this magic sound - So glad that I had stayed around! 29
