A poem for World Book Day!

3/3/2021

 
Words Are Ours
 
In the beginning was the word
and the word is ours:
 
the names of places,
the names of flowers,
the names of names,
words are ours.
 
Page-turners
For early learners
 
How to boil an egg
Or mend a leg
 
Words are ours
 
Wall charts
Love hearts
 
Sports reports
Short retorts
 
Jam-jar labels
Timetables
 
Words are ours
 
Following the instructions
for furniture constructions
 
Ancient mythologies
Online anthologies
 
Who she wrote for
Who to vote for
 
Joke collections
Results of elections
 
Words are ours
 
The tale’s got you gripped
Have you learned your script?
 
The method of an experiment
Ingredients for merriment
 
W8n 4ur txt
Re: whts nxt
 
Print media
Wikipedia
 
Words are ours
 
Subtitles on TV
Details on your CV
 
Book of great speeches
Guide to the best beaches
 
Looking for chapters on velociraptors
 
Words are ours
 
The mystery of history
The history of mystery
 
The views of news
The news of views
 
Words to explain
the words for pain
 
Doing geography
Autobiography
 
 
Arabian Nights
Fighting for your rights
 
What to do in payphones
Goodbyes on gravestones
 
Words are ours.
 
                                                    
by Michael Rosen

Words are everywhere! Michael Rosen read this poem for us today, when we met up with him virtually, courtesy of The Children's Bookshow.
