“Reading Round the Class” 
by Gervase Phinn

On Friday we have reading round the class.
Kimberley Bloomer is the best.
She sails slowly along the page like a great galleon
And everyone looks up and listens.
‘Beautiful reading, Kimberley, dear,’ sighs Mrs. Scott,              5
‘And with such fluency, such feeling.
It’s a delight to hear.”
 

Read the poem on p.54

On Friday, we have reading round the class.

I’m the worst.

I stumble and mumble along slowly like a broken-down train     10

And everyone looks up and listens.

Then they smile and snigger and whisper behind their hands.

‘Dear me,’ sighs Mrs. Scott, ‘rather rusty, Simon.

Quite a bit of practice needed, don’t you think?

Too much television and football, that’s your trouble,            15

And not enough reading.’

 

And she wonders why I don’t read books.
