Lemonade The Robot by Thehara age 12.(published in Poetry Escape)

The robots mainly lived in harmony,

Most people got on quite remarkably.

But one of these robots was quite afraid,

A scrawny lad, by the name of Lemonade.

 

Lemonade was horribly bullied and teased

By the robots who were certainly guaranteed

To be mean and obnoxious to poor  lemonade,

Their words to him were like a knife blade.

 

 

It was all because of his stupid big ears,

Everyone of his worries and fears!

His squinty eyes, his bulbous nose,

His foil-like hair and dirty clothes.

 

One day Lemonade decided to get his back,

Aha!He thought, as he put on his anorak.

I’ll go to the shop to buy 100 blueberry pies

To smash in all the other robots’ eyes!


The very next day, they laughed and jeered-

But in their eyes blueberry pies were smeared!

Lemonade laughed and jumped for joy,

He no longer felt like a poor robot boy!

 

The robots said sorry for bullying Lemonade,

And baked him some muffins (that were home-made).

They looked after him and bullied him no more-

And made sure he was happy forever more!
