Description
Book SynopsisPaul Cookson's staggeringly versatile range as a performance poet is fully displayed in this new collection. Humour, danger, wonder, surprise are the elements underlying his work. The collection contains some poems that need to be shouted and some that have to be whispered very quietly. There are many interactive poems in which a whole class or group of children can participate.
BEEP BEEP ! WHOOSH!
A great one to do with a high pitched “Beep Beep” and an extended quieter “Whoosh!”
Silver saucer shining bright
Flashing beams and laser lights
Beep ! Beep Whoosh!
Beep Beep! Whoosh!
Faster than the speed of sound
See it spinning round and round
Beep! Beep! Whoosh!
Beep! Beep ! Whoosh!
Dissipates, evaporates
Hovers, dives and levitates
Beep ! Beep Whoosh!
Beep Beep! Whoosh!
Breaking laws of gravity
Maximum velocity
Beep ! Beep Whoosh!
Beep Beep! Whoosh!
Like a diamond in the sky
Beaming down from way on high
Beep ! Beep Whoosh!
Beep Beep! Whoosh!
Nasty pilot, nasty crew
Coming down for me and you
Beep ! Beep Whoosh!
Beep Beep! Whoosh …
