After reading the poem «Orange Juice», by Michael Rosen, Dani, our writing & oral teacher told us to do a new poem. The «Orange Juice» poem was about a man whose oranje juice was stolen. So he made a plan and he took revenge of the man who was stealing his juice. Our task was to write a poem from the point of view of the man who was stealing the orange juice. I wrote it with Rosario Segura.
Poem:
I go to church meetings
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Where I bring some drinks,
while others some food.
And we eat this meal,
in the afternoon.
I don’t have enough money
to buy those drinks,
so I nick them
from the building that is next to me.
So I go to the meeting
and I share it with my friends,
we are all very happy
until that day.
I took a carton of orange juice
from the people at Number 11,
as I usually do,
but when my partners drank it,
they threw up all over the room.
Splash! Yuk!
That was the moment
when I realized,
that stealing something
was very bad.
The people at Number 11
were paying the juice
which I was drinkg.
Oh! Oh!
I felt very sorry
for the next few weeks,
so I decided to give them
an amazing gift.
Next Monday I’m goin to Number 11
and I’ll give them ten cartons of orange juice
Ha Ha…
But first I am going to make a change,
instead of juice,
there will be snakes.
Oh Yeah!
After writing our poem, we had to record it!
