Here are the poems that we will be performing at the Oldham School's Choral Speaking Festival:
You Are Special by Chris
Bambrough
You are more special than
a sunrise
Or a mountain covered in
snow;
You’re more special than
the most important secret
you could know.
You’re more special than
the winning goal
In the last minute of the
match,
More wonderful than a
winning serve
Or a fielder’s diving
catch.
You’re more fantastic than
a musical
That makes the whole world
sing;
More special than a
chocolate cake
With double-chocolate
icing.
You’re more important than
the last panda
Or gorilla left on Earth,
Than an eagle or a
peacock;
Just see how much you’re
worth.
You are more beautiful
than emeralds
More wonderful than gold,
You’re more special than
the most exciting story
ever told.
You’re not an accident or
a burden
Or a terrible mistake;
You’re special,
You’re original,
You’re the best thing God
could make.
Who’s Baddest? By Kate
Umansky
Wolf One:
Hello, fans. I’m the Big Bad Wolf
Of Little Piggies fame.
What’s that? You want my
autograph?
Most certainly. Your name?
Wolf Two:
Excuse me. I’m the Big Bad Wolf
Who tricked Red Riding Hood.
This wolf is an imposter!
My friends, this wolf is good.
Wolf One:
How dare you. I’m the Big Bad Wolf
No matter what you say.
Be off, before I huff and
puff
And blow you clean away.
Wolf Two:
Aha! And so
it’s come to blows!
This wolf is really sad.
I’ll go and eat his granny up
And then
we’ll see who’s bad.
Huff, puff...
Gobble, gobble...
Huff, puff...
Gobble, gobble...
Huff, puff...
Gobble, gobble...
Both:
Then we’ll see who’s bad!
