ALLITERATION IN RHYMES

I.
CLEVER KID

I can’t catch a crocodile.

I can’t climb a cliff.
I can’t cook a cake,
Or drive a car
But there are lots of things,
A clever kid like me can do.
I can color with crayons.
I can catch a cat.
I can come and cuddle you if you cry.
‘Cause there are lots of things,
A clever kid can do.

II.
TIGERS

Tim the terrifying tiger

Tiptoes through tangled trees
His twitching tail thumping
His terrible teeth terrifying turtles.
Who tumbles away.

III.
FISH

Finley the fat, floppy fish

Furiously flying through water
Fearlessly following friends
Ferreting for food
Fin flying fast
Fantasising about fish fingers.
 IV.
BEAR IN THERE

There’s a Polar Bear

In our Frigidaire
He likes it ‘cause it’s cold in there.
With his seat in the meat
And his face in the fish
And his big hairy paws
In the buttery dish,
He’s nibbling the noodles,
He’s munching the rice,
He’s slurping the soda,
He’s licking the ice.
And he lets out a roar
If you open the door.
And it gives me a scare
To know he’s in there
That Polary Bear
In our Frigitydaire

V.
SYDNEY THE STUTTERING SNAKE

Sydney the snake slid down a slippery slope.

Since getting stuck in a snare made of
Sticks and some string, she’d somehow
Succumbed to an embarrassing, sibilant stutter.
She was sneakily slithering in
Search of slimy, secret spot where she
Could sink into obscurity.
