Rhyming Poem 1- Nuclear Gas

Nuclear gas is in the air

I cover my mouth with my hair

The smell I’m trying to bare

I even see a dead hare 

This gas is definitely a scare

To everyone even the bear

The only cure is the juice of a pear

I must smush it on a chair

Then throw it all around this lair

That is soon to get a repair

Finally everything is normal and nobody has any care

Rhyming Poem 2- Unicorn's Horn

Once there was a very tricky unicorn

Who always stole the farmer’s corn

One day the farmer caught the unicorn

And he cut off his horn

The farmer gave him a warn

After that the unicorn went into mourn

For its heart was torn

At the loss of it’s horn

Death for ivory

They will be your best friend by far
