Only One Mother
Hundreds of times you hoover my room
Hundreds of times you make my lunch
Hundreds of times your car goes vroom
Hundreds of times you buy Munch Bunch
Hundreds of times you take me to school
Hundreds of times you fill me with glee
Hundreds of times you see me being a fool
But only one mother to take care of me!

The Stone Age Settlers
My uncle Geordie once took me up to Cushendun caves and we ran about the whole place. It was class. We stayed there for hours. I loved it. There were about 10 caves. There was slimy stuff on the rocks and it was freezing. I had two wear two jumpers. It was pitch dark. Then I spotted something. It was in the last cave I went over to it. It was a cave man. I was astonished. I called to Geordie. He was astonished too. It looked like a girl because of his woolly, scruffy long hair but it was a boy. His moustache and beard gave it all away. He was wearing a fox skin coat. It was sleeveless. He was carving flints. I hid in a cave and spied on him for a while. Then he went into the trees so I followed him. His house looked like an igloo, but it was only sticks and animal skin. I didn’t go inside incase he attacked me. Then I saw someone about the height of me. I went over to him and said hello. There was no reply. He just waited for a while and then I said come to my house. He said o.k. so we went back to my house. I hid him under my bed. I told him to stay there. Then I asked him what his name was. He said it was Tarzan. What a cool name. I went to the shop and when I came back my bed was gone. He had moved into the garden shed. My mum went into the garden shed and screamed WHO IS THIS? IT’S A STONE AGE BOY! She told me to get rid of him. I said ok. I told him he had to go home. He asked me could he take my bed. I said no but he could have my old hurl and ball and he could have some sweets and then he went home.
