Leek Soup
Mashy Bashy by pupils from Woodcroft First School
Mashy, bashy
Brown as soil,
Lots of spots on my skin.

Small as a grape
Or a banty egg,
Smooth as a bald man’s chin.

Snug in the earth
I swell and grow,
Pushing the soil around,

Pushing the stones
And the bugs and slugs,
Hidden beneath the ground.

Lumpy, bumpy,
Full of eyes,
Tell me – what can you see?

‘I spy
with my little eye,
something beginning with - P!’

Y4 pupils, Woodcroft First School
working with writer Pamela Brough Sandiford
