Poems for Choral Speaking Festival

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!
