The Gangster

My Grandfather

The Yumidiupul VII

Lose a Love.....You Never Knew

The Fight

The Man Called Yidyyidy

 

THE GANGSTER

 

In the streets of Campelltown

The mad gangster arose -

Robbing people's houses

And chopping off their toes.

 

First he robbed the shopping centre

Then he robbed the bank

Then he found a car he liked

And stole the fuel tank.

 

Across the Queensland border

He drove that car around

Looking for a man he knew

His name was Steven Mound

 

Up the driveway, in the door

The gangster crept along

But as he got into the room

He knew that he was wrong

 

The man who was Trent Stallion

Was armed with his shotgun

One bullet saw him on the ground

And not long later hung.

 

Still his ghost is around the streets,

Looking for that man,

He knows he’ll never find him,

But he keeps his knife in hand.

By Nathan

My Grandfather

Mandy and Grandfather,

Were very close like the shore and the sea,

For Grandfather’s heart had a lock of gold,

And Mandy had the key.

 

Then one day her Grandfather,

Said, “I am soon to die.”

Then he smiled so kindly,

Wiped a tear from Mandy’s eye.

 

Through the next three agonizing weeks,

Grandpa got worse and worse,

Then it came near the time,

For the effect of this horrible curse.

 

His funeral was sad and quiet,

For he was cremated that day, Mandy cried tears of pain and sorrow,

Then she looked away.

 

After the funeral she said to herself,

“I must pull myself together,

For I know he will always be in my heart,

For the rest of my life, forever.”

 

When she went to visit his grave,

She said to herself, "I’d rather,

Know he'll be always in my heart,

My best friend, my Grandfather.”

THE YUMIDIUPUL V11

It was the Yumidiupul V11,

That flew the Milky Way,

And the pilot had taken his robot dog,

To help him on this day.

 

Grey were its eyes like a moon of Jupiter,

Its back made of titanium,

And its head as thick as bricks,

Without a visible cranium.

 

The pilot he stood beside the joystick,

A long cigar in his mouth,

And he watched the smoke,

Go west - and then go south.

 

Then up spoke his dog,

He’d been made last,

“I say put into Pluto,

For I fear a Nova Blast”

 

“ Last night the moons were as grey as grey

And today no moons I see!”

The pilot blew smoke from his cigar,

And a mean old laugh laughed he.

 

Boom went a sound,

Louder the sound, it grew,

The pilot he was very scared,

Boom the space wind blew.

 

A nova is a hungry beast showing no mercy,

It was black and it was round,

The pilot strapped himself in his chair,

He couldn’t utter a sound.

 

Then the nova blasted,

The nova was death in the darkest dream,

It obliterated the ship,

Before the pilot could even scream.

 

The sector was deep and empty,

The nova left no life,

It was dark and heartless,

Loneliness like a knife.

 LOSE A LOVE......YOU NEVER KNEW

I am quite a simple girl ,

only worrying about my weight

my eyes are bags of apples

and I’m always late.

 

I work down at a corner shop,

the shop as small as the pay,

and all the people there are weird

except one man who comes everyday.

 

His hair as black as night

his eyes the moon in the sky,

not a freckle on his tanned skin

my first impression...my oh my!

 

One day he didn’t come,

he didn’t after a week.

I had to see him desperately

because to him I had to speak.

 

He was in the hospital

in sector 7G

I went to visit him

and this is what he said to me.

 

“I have always loved you,

I have put you in my will,

I know you from the corner shop

and I love you still”.

 

So that’s the end of this story

Lost a love I never knew,

and in the end, to my surprise

I learnt he had loved me too.

The Fight

One day I was walking down the street

I saw a fat guy come,

His singlet was ripped, his face was dirty

He rumbled the ground like a drum.

 

When he walked past he hit my head

So I slapped him in the eye ,

He turned around in a rage

And said that I was sly.

 

He tried to hit me

But his arm was too slow ,

I got the man-hole lid

And hit him really low.

 

He tried to give me a body slam

But he was slow as a snail ,

I dodged it at the speed of light

And he fell as if he had bailed.

 

He was hurting

Like he had been hit by a train ,

That fat weak man

Was insane.

 

He shook his head in disbelief -

That a fat man as fragile as china ,

He then started to run

When he hit a Mini Minor.

 

Now that poor man walks down the street
