Dashing away with the unsolved clues,
Knowing some friends they would have to lose,
Catching the baddies who make the news,
They solved the mystery.

‘Twas on a Thursday afternoon,
When I beheld four pensioners,
They looked so neat in Coopers Chase
In every high degree.
They looked so neat and clever, O,
A-solving of a murder, O

Heartbroken and
Angry at his
Mother's
Life choices.
Ends
Tragically.

Plan insurrection and a coup
Seek out the rebellious few
But beware the Thought Police,
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU

When rebellion you learn to rue
And the Party line to spew,
When you learn to love Big Brother,
BIG BROTHER WILL LOVE YOU TOO
#Book2Poem #NationalYearofReading

[Jesmond Library @JesmondLibrary]

Be careful what you say,
Be careful what you do.
Remember, don’t forget,
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU

The truth lies all askew,
The past no longer true.
They tell you ‘War is Peace’
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU

Aslan the Lion is put to death,
It seems that all is lost.
But when a deeper magic then prevails
Life and Spring return at last.

#Book2Poem #NationalYearOfReading

Deep inside the wardrobe
Is a magic land of snow,
Where animals play with children,
Their faces all aglow.

But there’s a darker side to Narnia,
It’s winter, never Christmas,
Mistakes are made by Edmund
White Witch becomes ambitious.
