POEM 1 WARNING


WARNING!!!

When I am an old --------------I shall wear ---------------
With a -------------hat which doesn't go, and doesn't ------------- me.
And I shall ------------- my pension ---------- brandy and summer gloves
And satin ------------, and say we've ---------- money for butter.
I shall -------- down on the pavement ----------- I'm tired
And gobble -------samples in shops and -------- alarm bells
And ---------- my stick along the ---------- railings
And ---------up for the sobriety of ---------youth.
I ----------go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick ------------ in other people's gardens
And learn ---------- spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Jenny Joseph

Dear Breda,

I’ve finally arrived in Barcelona! The flight was fine but I was a little tired so I took a

taxi to my host family’s address. They live in a nice area but there aren’t a lot of

parks. There’s also a lot of traffic and it is quite noisy but there are some good

things too. The shops are fantastic, especially the clothes shops, and the

restaurants and cafeterias are very pleasant and not more expensive than at

home. My host family are very nice. Joana, my host mother, is a nurse and she

works most evenings. The father died two years ago. My Catalan sister, Laia, is 15

but she’s very tall, much taller than me! She’s very friendly and we have the same

hobbies.

Well, I’ll write to you next week, when I have more news.

Big hug,

Karen

Last month we went on a school trip to Venice, which was built on water. There

are canals, not streets, so people get to places by boat. In this city the buildings

are old and full of history. Marco Polo, who I am sure you have heard about,

came from this city and he travelled as far as Mongolia. In Venice you can visit

a lot of museums and a very exciting carnival is organised there every year.

The film festival is very well-known too. We also enjoyed visiting the shops and

the restaurants. The open air cafés are very pleasant but quite expensive.

Venice has all the ingredients of an interesting tourist destination.
