English Amode: Poem-Reading

Dear Parents,

For the benefit of those who are ill at home, I will post the poem here so that you can practise at home as well.

Don't Ever Ask a Centipede

Don't ever ask a centipede

to play a game of soccer.

Remember, he has 50 pairs

of sneakers in his locker.

He dribbles 50 soccer balls

with 50 pairs of shoes,

and kicks them all concurrently.

He doesn't often lose.

He's such a fierce competitor

that, if you ever meet,

at first you'll see his hundred legs

and then you'll see defeat.

--By Kenn Nesbitt
