PoEtRy Rates #1 and #2

"I Dreamed a Dream"
 
Current Rating: Rating: 4.10 (4.10)
I dreamed a dream in bed last night,
Of places most bizarre.
Of ponds of liquid lemon pie,
And ducks that played guitar.

Of perfect picture puzzle paths,
And grass of jellybeans.
Of crumpet homes and candy gnomes,
Such things I'd never seen.

Of glinting, misty marble stars,
And clouds of thick eclair.
Of crayon boats and biscuit goats,
A weird and strange affair.

I flew past trees of centipedes,
And over fondant hills.
Past eight-leg cats and purple rats,
A world so full of thrills.

I dived beneath a soapy lake,
Through plastic kelp and Bream.
And swam with rainbow octopus,
Past shores of clotted cream.

And down below the treacle waves,
I spied a feathered bee.
But with a start I woke to find,
My pillows eating me!


"Mumbo Jumbo"
 
Current Rating: Rating: 3.99 (3.99)
Mumbo Jumbo is his name
He loves playing lots of games
And he really is my friend
So on him I can depend.

He's got two great big ears
And a trunk that really curves
So he can reach the trees
With such grace and ease.

But he doesn't go to school
As he's broken all the rules
He knocked down their big gates
And scared off all my mates.

He shocked my teacher white
Oh he gave her such a fright
When he sat down in a chair
She told the class "Beware!"

But I like Mumbo Jumbo
And he really doesn't grumble
As he's happy to be here
And I'll always want him near.

My elephant
