THE NEW KID - Children's limerick (Nanaimo, BC - August 2007)
This is something written purely for fun as a favour to a friend, but I'm quite pleased with the result and so think it worthy of inclusion here.

I had no idea what I was going to do with them until I sat down to start work on it, so was quite surprised it turned into a 27-verse limerick! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
