Genre: Llamas, Animal, Rhyme
Fred the Llama.
by
Alia Sheikh, England
Why did Fred lick the teacups
and wear
the teapot on his head?
Well, Fred was a Llama,
and he liked tea.
Also maybe his head was cold.
Maybe he wanted, today of all days, to look special.
Maybe it was a defence against mind rays.
Maybe it was Art.
We’ll never know.
But when he climbed the steps
to old McCavity’s barn
And stood on the roof to greet the first day of summer
He looked Majestic
Silhouetted against the clear blue Yorkshire sky
Gargling his song into the world
