A poem is not an Ant but it can be quite short. A poem is not a Banana but there may be something under its skin. A poem is not a Coat but it may have some warmth in it. A poem is not a Dog but it might be quite a friend. A poem is not an Endless pair of trousers but it can be quite long. A poem is not a Football shaped like a cucumber. A poem is not a Great number of things. A poem is not a Hedgehog but it might be hard to get hold of. A poem is not an Igloo but it can feel like home. A poem is not a Jumble sale, but it might contain some rubbish. A poem is not a Kite but it might enjoy the wind. A poem is not a Lightbulb but you can change it if you want to. A poem is not a Monkey but can be quite human.
