Spaghetti Nose
My father was a very hard worker, and sometimes very stern. When he sat at the table to eat, we often waited to adjust to his various moods. One day as our family ate silently, Dad sneezed whilst eating a plate of Mum's finest spaghetti bolognaise. This poem in based on that story. We watched shocked at the results, but once Dad started laughing and pulling spaghetti out of his nostrils, the whole family lost it hysterically. What a memory.

The Big Great Dane
The Big Great Dane is based on a true story. Marco used to walk to Central State School in Warwick. A very large dog would rush at the fence barking as the children walked past. One morning the gate was open. Boy did Marco get to school quickly that day.

The Cheeky Frog
Marco loves Frogs. He can't believe some people find them gross to touch, or become frantic when a wet slimy Frog is near them. He wondered what a 'cheeky' frog might like to do to freak out unsuspecting Humans.
