Poetry for Children

The Piccadilly Zoo


The Piccadilly Zoo,
The Piccadilly Zoo,
All the monkeys there go moo,
The dogs wink,
The cats sing.

All the children stand on their tootsies,
Ignoring all the teachers looksies,
The elephants ROAR,
And all the children scream for MORE!

The Piccadilly Zoo,
The Piccadilly Zoo,
That’s the place for me and you.

So shimmy and run,
The train leaves at one,
So be quick, 
And don’t take the mick 

Because the Piccadilly Zoo has the most extraordinary exhibit,
The one that attracts all the nibbets,
It really is a rare view,
The special edition of a clean loo.

A Night You Won’t Forget: 'Wolf of Wall Street' Bringing Bold and Scandalous Behaviour to London The Wolf of Wall Street, a black comedy crime film based on the outrageous memoir of Jordan Belfort, is coming to London as a new immersive theatre experience.

Netflix's 'The Order' Review

  Netflix's 'The Order' Series 1 Review The Order. An entertaining Sci Fi fantasy series with a target audience of older teens and young adults. Following primarily the life of Jack Morton (Jake Manley), a first-year student at Belgrave University, it explores the conflict he experiences between two secret societies, The Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose and the Knights of St Christopher. Within the first couple of episodes, most of the new pledges of the Blue Rose (neophytes) are violently killed and Jack takes it upon himself to investigate into how and why. With the persistence of his obsessive and at times dismissive grandfather Pete (Matt Frewer) pressurising him, Jack works to uncover the dark truths of the Blue Rose and take vengeance on the man who supposedly caused his mother’s death.  Created by Dennis Heaton and Shelley Eriksen, The Order, in my opinion, is the new and perhaps darker version of shows like Teen Wolf and The Vampire Diaries. With its comedic n

Currently running its latest re-staging at Warwick Arts Centre this review is of the performance on the 3 rd May, the third show in the four-night run.
