 Emma In The Office!
The Headmaster
Scratched his head,
Not sure
What he should do,
When Emma bounced
Into his room
Just like a kangaroo!

She stretched out
Her grubby hand
And grabbed him
On the arm.
The Headmaster
Got such a shock,
He switched on
The alarm!

Everybody
In the school
Raced outside
In a rush.
They thought it was
The fire drill,
And stood in rows
Without a hush!

Then Emma turned
The speakers on
And laughed out
Loud and long.
Everybody froze
In fear
And wondered
What was wrong!

Then they all heard
The Headmaster
Scream out,
"Oh Emma no,
Take that toilet seat
Straight off your head,
That's not where
It should go!"

Emma reached
Into her pocket
And took out her
Pet rat.
The Headmaster
Got such a fright,
You should have
Seen him scat!

He raced out through
The office door,
Fearful of
A scratch,
So Emma quickly
Shut the door
And then pulled down
The latch!

Emma played
Computer games
And ate the
Headmaster's cake.
Then she drank
His coffee
And played with
Her pet snake!

She jumped onto
The office desk
And danced
A silly jig.
Then she turned
The speakers up
And made a grunt
Just like a pig!

There came a knock
Upon the door
And a voice
That called her name.
Emma yelled
"Please go away
And let me play
My game!"

She would not
Leave the office
And no one
Could get in.
Emma smiled
In satisfaction
At all
The banging din!

She drew a
Very funny face
And faxed it
To her mum.
Then found
A box of chocolates
And ate up
Every one!

She then picked up
The telephone
And rang up
Her Pa.
When he heard
Her story,
He jumped straight
In his car!

When he arrived
At school
There was bedlam
Everywhere.
The Headmaster
Was in such a shock
He'd lost all
Of his hair!

When Pa
Got to the office,
He heard
Emma say,
"I can't wait for
School tomorrow,
I've had so much
Fun today!

Joy Weare.
