Is this who you are? Think about it carefully.

You are a loving Labrador nuzzling your shy, beige puppy who has curled up and fallen asleep beside you.

You are an obedient assistant to your mournful master who is getting sucked into the looming iron compressor.

You are a curious crab scuttling along the sea-bed, when you get trapped in a lobster pot.

You are a brave warrior fighting in the battle of Waterloo.

You are a lazy lion sun-bathing in the scorching Savannah heat.

You are an energetic kangaroo, powerfully jumping over a log with your joey in your pouch.

You are the impossibility of

a swing with no seat,
a unicycle with no tyre,
a water bottle with no lid,
a hot wind,
and a calm hurricane

You are the memory of a young child dropping their ice-cream on the sandy beach as they watch the sand viciously sucking up the delicious, creamy Mr Whippy, like a hoover, there’s a blur of a bird and a sea-gull snatches it up to devour for its self.

You are the smell of lab chemicals fighting your way up the junior scientists nostrils.

You are the impossibility of

smooth sand-paper,
an ink-less pen which still writes,
a money jar which shoots money back out
and a Crocodile which is scared of water

You are the impossibility of

silent thunder,
a pencil sharpener with no blade
and a teddy bear with no fur

You are the terrified squeak of a mouse with a cat pouncing on it’s tail.

You are the sound of glasses clinking together and a trickle of beer cascades down the side.

You are the Big Bang snatching up dinosaurs lives, greedily awaiting their end.

You are the beginning of the world.

  1. Wow Georgia, you’ve worked so hard on this! My favourite line is the one about the crocodile being scared of water. It made me smile. There is alliteration in there, too – just enough, not too much. The only improvement I can suggest is that the middle verse about the ice cream might be a bit long. I’m guessing that something like that has happened to you!
