Bottom booming Grandmas, exploding teachers, sleepovers with elephants, and dad’s stinky feet are just some of the topics in Supersonic Gran, Conrad’s fourth book of humorous poems for children. Not to mention Super Pig, the pig with superhero powers.
Written by my friend, Peter Robinson, for my birthday today. It's flipping brilliant!
I'm at Castleford Library waiting to do a storytelling workshop. The three crowd members so far are rather familiar😀.
I ran some workshops here last summer. One of the boys who came was called Peter. He attended as part of his Children's University course where he had to do 1000 hours. At the end he'd to pick his favourite moment.
He picked my workshop. How special do I feel?!
Facebook keeps reminding me of our 40th last year. In light of that, plus the fact that I have a poetry book to write by the end of the month, here's a poem about mi twin bruv, Phil.
My identical twin
I'm his twin and he's my twin
And when I lose it means he wins
And when he wins it means I lose
And we both have the same sized shoes
I'm his twin and he's my twin
My face is round his face is thin
My waist is big his waist is small
We're both six and a bit feet tall
I'm his twin and he's my twin
On stage he's shy on stage I sing
He writes with left I write with right
At maths we've always both been bright
I'm his twin and he's my twin
Our brother's Ol our mum is Lynne
In photos taken years ago
Which twin is which? Nobody knows
I'm his twin and he's my twin
I'm like his yang and he's my yin
I know his thoughts he knows mine too
We're miles apart yet stick like glue
I'm his twin and he's my twin
It's really quite a glorious thing
For 40 years we've been this way
I wouldn't change a single day
(Except the day he broke a snooker cue on my back...)
Mabel keeps telling me about the 'turtle on my knee' in the song Attention. I couldn't believe that was right, but she assured me it was. I've just looked it up - 'throwin' that dirt all on my name' isn't nearly as good as Mabel's invention 😀
Check out Wakefield Libraries getting in on the rhymes! Good work 😀
