Writer’s corner

Jun 10 2009 by Julie Watt, Dumfries Standard Wednesday

THE STANDARD has teamed up with CREATE/Schools Services to celebrate new writing being created by young people from across the region.

Each week the Standard will publish a piece of writing from a talented youngster as part of Homecoming 2009 celebrations.

This week’s poem was created by Marsha Jamieson, a pupils at Castle Douglas High School.

Getting Ready!

Ah get oot ma bed

Then ah get tha dug fed

Av got a sare head

But av got tae gan tae skeel

Ah hink ma hamsters dead

Av got blisters on ma heel

Av got ma clathes on noo

Ma uniform is eww

Ma skirts covered in glue

Ma mum’s gan tae kill me

Becoz it’s only new

Ouch ah banged ma knee

Ah get ma make-up on

Ma mum says c’mon

While she’s eating a scone

Yu’ll miss yer bus

I think its time your gone

What a fuss

Noo am dain ma hair

Ma knee is sae sare

It’s really naw fair

Thit av got tae gan tae skeel

Ma mum disnae care

Bout how ah really feel

Am aboot ate leave noo

But ah can only fin yin shoe

Ah dini huv a clue

Where it could be

Av fun ma shoe noo

Av nae time fur a cup of tea

Noo am oot the door

Av dropped ma bag on tha floor

Ah finish school at four

Ma mum’s such a fuss

Ma knee dusny hurt anymore

Aww naw av missed ma bus.
