We come to fight

We Come to Fight a poem by Russel Painter


We come to fight,

We come to kill,

Today you’ll die you surely will!

We are the ones we are your doom,

We are the ones we are the gloom,

We are the ones we’ll put you in your tomb!

We come to love,

We love the treat,

With the treat we are complete,

The treat is neat, so very sweet,

Seeing the treat is such a feat.

Monsters


    Monsters    Poet: Russel Painter

You must turn back, but it's too late you’ve finally chosen to meet your fate.

The keeper of this oh so tomb will haunt you 'til you've met your doom.

The ogres the zombies the orcs and oogs, all the menaces have made their moves.

Vampires, Dracula, Ghouls and Ghosts are all but one are some of the most, terrible, treacherous, abominable things we fear that of all the creatures haunt our dreams.

Because of their lingering and perilous deeds all the monsters have lots of greed.

Whenever they hear the words, of brutes all of the creatures, they all salute.

We all must yell, we all must shriek that no-one’s safe and no-one dare’s to face their fears and turn their mouths to monsters ears, to say to shout “we hate your snout we hate your pout” to make these fiends swell up in tears.  

Though every single year or so we celebrate them all with monsters glow, candy wrappers, witches hat all laid on the floor in one big splat!





Tech vs Nature

 

Tech Vs Nature    a poem by Russel Painter


The chirping birds make sounds so sweet,

The clean blue sky oh! So high,

The sea is so deep and intense,

The many gardens and their fence,

The mountains so big and huge,

The forests giving out some clues,

The intensity of the wind and air,

That makes us look and see why we are there,

Because of nature forming life,

We took a risk and make a disc,

To tell us about the world around us,

Nothing will ever come among us.

We'll never really learn the meaning of it all,

But in truth technology is nothing at all,

It makes roads, cars and other kinds of stuff

Which creates pollution

Or which we have no solution.

It would take a revolution

To fix up all this mess,

Getting rid of all this tech,

Is our one and final test.

The Diplodocus

Diplodocus

Diplodocus is an extinct genus of diplodocid sauropod dinosaurs. The name is derived from Greek διπλός "double" and δοκός "beam", in reference to its double-beamed chevron bones located in the underside of the tail. Once the most famous dinosaur in the world, Diplodocus had four large sturdy legs supporting a long neck and a long tail that could be flailed around like a whip. It was huge and may have reached over 30 metres and weighed around 15 tonnes.
 
They lived there about 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic period they thrived in a time when the Earth's warm temperatures encouraged rapid plant growth. Diplodocus needed a lot of food to keep it alive. Using rake-like teeth, this animal could have stripped an area of any vegetation very quickly, especially considering that there is evidence they travelled in herds, the quantity of plant material eaten by these massive herbivore must have been considerable. Diplodocus' tail was about 14m long, which is one of the longest tails of any animal to have ever walked the earth. Like most Sauropods, Diplodocus' nostrils were actually high up on its forehead instead of at the end of its snout. A recently discovered fossil of a skin impression suggests that this animal had spines along its neck.

Ankylosaurus


Ankylosaurus is a genus of armoured dinosaur. Its fossils have been found in geological formations dating to the very end of the Cretaceous Period, about 68–66 million years ago, in western North America.

Scientific name: Ankylosaurus
Mass: 4,000 – 7,000 kg (Adult)
Height: up to 1.7 m (Adult)
Length: 7 – 11 m (Adult)
Higher classification: Ankylosauridae

Did you know: Ankylosaurass
    1. Means ‘fused lizard’.
    2. Had four horns on its head.
    3. Lived at the end of the Cretaceous Period (around 66 million years ago).
    4. Were one of the last dinosaurs remaining before the large extinction
    event that occurred around this time.
    5. Was a large dinosaur, it reached a length of  around 9 metres  and
    a weight of around 6000 kg.
    6. Were herbivores (plant eaters) and had small teeth relative to their body
    size.
    7. Had body armour made from huge plates of bone which were embedded
    into the skin which helped protect it against attackers. Similar body armour
    is found on a crocodile or armadillo.
    8. Had a massive tail club that it could use to generate a large amount  of
    force potentially breaking the bones of another dinosaur while defending
    itself.
