An Ode to a Phone Box

An ode to a phone box
Standing tall in the street
On the side of the road
Waiting for everyone to meet.

You can't find me easily
I'm bright red and also blue
It's been awhile since I've been used
Now I'm waiting for you.

An ode to a telephone box
All rusty and old
People don't really like them
Crusty and covered in mould.

My Party


The Party was for my birthday
I remember it was awesome
The cake was a skull and cross bones
I remember it was a dangerous cake
The treasure was in the garden
I remember digging it up
The presents were so great
I remember opening the lego boxes
The coins were chocolate coins
I remember the chocolate melting in my mouth
