CARMEN IN TROUBLE
Carmen was bored, she had nothing to do.
She first went on Google and then to Yahoo!
But still she couldn’t find anything fun at all,
So she went to the park and then onto the mall.
SNAP! Carmen suddenly had a thought.
She asked her dad for a boat, which, of course, he bought.
She scuba-dived underwater, into the aqua sea.
She wanted to see the fishes swimming with glee.
Mesmerised by the coral reef under the sea,
she was dazzled by the creatures with all their beauty.
BOOM! Oh no, the boat started to sink.
She started to panic, what was she to think?
She whipped out her smart phone and dialled 999.
“Come quick, my shoes are destroyed and they’re Calvin Klein!”
When she saw the RNLI skimming the waves in their boat,
She yelled, “Help! The water’s almost up to my throat!”
The coast guards arrived and they swam down to get her.
When she began to panic, they cried, “Ah, here, pull it together!”
“My goodness, you saved me, you guys are my heroes.”
They said, “Whatevs, just donate a cheque full of zeroes!’’
A VIEW FROM A LIGHTHOUSE
They could see so much up there.
Rows and rows of houses,
And the festival down below.
The children playing checkers,
And lots of melting snow.
The hook-a-duck was a big hit,
And so was the show.
But best of all the view
Of the ocean down below.
The waves were gorgeous,
And the ocean clear as ice.
Not too many surfers,
Although the day was very nice.

Carmen was grateful she was still alive.
The RNLI got her to safety and made her survive.
