A very funny anthology of poems exploring what children would do if they were in charge. Bossing parents around? Yes! Only ever eating ice cream? Maybe. Going to school? Read it and see . . .
from `The Prime Minister is 10 Today’ by David Harmer
This morning I abolished
homework, detention and dinner ladies.
I outlawed lumpy custard, school mashed spuds
and handwriting lessons.
From now on playtimes must last two hours
unless it rains, in which case we all go home
except the teachers who must do extra PE
outside in the downpour.
