My favourite poems by Matthew Cooper


Said the General

Said the general of the army
I think you war is barmy
So he threw away his gun
Now he’s having much more fun!

Spike Milligan

Boy Girl

Boy Girl
Garden gate
Standing kissing
Very late!
Dad comes!
Big boots
Boy runs
Girl scoots!

Eating Peas

I eat my peas with honey
I’ve done it all my life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on the knife
