'What is laughter?'
I met this alien his name was Bob,
nd he came from planet Zob.
"I want to know what laughter is?"
So i sad "It is the biz"
"It's when your happy, not feeling sad.
It when your proud, not feeling bad.
It's when someone loves you all the can,
and make you feel a fantastic, man.
It's the opposite to a frown, you see.
The sides of your mouth satrt going curly.
You feel the warmth deep down inside
and all this shows it will not hide.
A sound coms out and it feels like this,
It could be a 'ha' or 'ho' or 'hiss'.
It's like music to everyones ers,
You augh so much you end up in tears.
A joke can sometimes make you laugh,
and also when someones being daft.
Do you get it? do you see?
Have i explained carefully?"
"Yes you have, i understand.
It's the best emotion in the whole land.
I'll tell my friends and they wil know,
as i will tell them and put on a show.
They'll be so pleased, i will be king.
and it's all thanks to you for explaining.
I'll have to go, so i'll say good-night.
Thankyou for making my planet right."

I WANT TO FLY TO THE MOON '98
I want to fly to the moon,
I want to go there pretty soon.
I dream about it every night,
I want to go there in the night.
Ill see the stars shine in the dark,
As I fly over and past the park.
Ill greet some aliens
And make a new friend
And they invite me back again and again.
(I haven't properly finished that one yet)
