My Island
School of the Nations, Wong, Jeremy - 9
On my island, there are many things to do
A school on top of the epic canyon,
On a gigantic falcon in the sky,
With people on top of it saying hi!
Tourist ships on a giant’s wrist,
A farm on the water, it’s a barn,
A pencil case
In the military base,
An army guy,
Saying Bye!
In my restaurant,
Some confetti in your spaghetti.
Some mustard in your custard,
For dessert.
If you go to the island’s tower,
You must stay at least stay for an hour.
If you go to the bakery,
You can make the shortbread that we bake.
If you want to go to the five-star restaurant,
You must book it as you know.
There are also dragons’ on our island,
Some who’s courage is the best,
Some who’s most sincere and most honest,
Some of whose wisdom top’s the big chart,
Some who’s silly but also quite smart.
And some who’s happy, with the greatest wit.
That shouldn’t be a problem, should it?
The knight went to the prophecy,
Involves a new dragon as you see,
When he arrives, it’s something to behold,
For he has a spirit that’s brighter than gold,
He knows no selfishness and no greed,
He is the dragon of friendship indeed!
The hospital has the clumsiest people,
People who are one, always have fun.
