Poems Posted Around the School – By You Know Who
When I see scabby Dave, how I laugh!
He’s got legs like a knock-kneed giraffe
And his bum is so smelly
It appeared on the telly
’Cause he never once gets in the bath.
There once was a clown called Dave
Who belonged in a zoo or a cave
He had holes in his clothes
And snot in his nose
And flies coming off him in waves.

Said directly to Fizzy Feet:
You’re a big dork-head called Davey
You’re thicker than twelve-day-old gravy
My dog did a poo
That was smarter than you
From your breath, I wish someone would save me!

The word ‘scabby’ is an insult. It makes Dave sound unhealthy or unpleasant to look at. This is a bit like ‘cheese touch’ in The Diary of a Wimpy Kid where people avoid someone for a silly reason. The words ‘how I laugh’ show the writer is laughing at Dave, not with him. He is making fun of him and instead of being kind.
