Bongaloo Poems!

We have added some verses to the Spike Milligan poem "Bongaloo"

Here's the original...

'What is a Bongaloo, Daddy?'
'A Bongaloo, Son,' said I,
'Is a tall bag of cheese
Plus a Chinaman's knees
And the leg of a nanny goat's eye.'

'How strange is a Bongaloo, Daddy?'
'As strange as strange,' I replied.
'When the sun's in the West
It appears in a vest
Sailing out with the noonday tide.'

'What shape is a Bongaloo, Daddy?'
'The shape, my Son, I'll explain:
It's tall round the nose
Which continually grows
In the general direction of Spain.'

'Are you sure there's a Bongaloo, Daddy?'
'Am I sure, my Son?' said I.
'Why, I've seen it, not quite
On a dark sunny night
Do you think that I'd tell you a lie?

Here are some verses Room 2 students have added:

Megan:
"Where is the bongaloo, Daddy?"
"Ow,Where is he" I cried
He in a dark cave
Having a shave
He thought he would give it a try

Sydney-May
" What does the bongaloo like daddy?"
" How does it sound I cry"
it has a screech
that can reach
a bird that has recently died

Elissa
" Who made the bongaloo daddy?"
"now that I shall say
He hasn't payed his fees
He's got a disease
and he lives near a pile of hay
