Words:
Xylophone
A XYLOPHONE begins with ‘X’
It’s musical
Played by kids who ‘tink tink’ randomness
There’s plastic colourful ones or larger retro wooden ‘I remember you from school’ ones
The non musical kid always got the xylophone or the triangle
Zoo
ZOO begins with ‘Z’
A zoo is full of animals
You watch animals in a zoo through criss-cross fences or plexi-glass that the lion is considering breaking to eat you
At night the zoo animals have a party, we just don’t realise
You never see the interesting animals at the zoo because they know you want to

A XYLOPHONE begins with ‘Z’

Secret Truth:
Zylophone Xoo
‘There’s a zoo inside my Zylophone… can you xee it?’ he Z
‘Full of animalz, you just don’t know are there
Look closer
Xoom in
But beware
Tiny lionz stare
Make the wrong ‘tink’ and they may make a stink
Or pull out a banjo and start a jamboree
Zylophone Xoos are musical you xee.’
That’s what he Z
The random kid from school
He woz pretty cool
Had no rhythm
Couldn’t find the beatz
Voice like a screeching rhino
Played the triangle like a pro though
What did he know?
He knew very well
You didn’t need to spell
To see the animalz in the zylophone xoo.
Jaime’s love of writing grew during her time at Cambridge University while studying a B.Ed in Drama. Whist her day job sees her successfully writing and directing stage productions for children, at night, her other writing life concentrates on sci-fi, fantasy and some darker, more obscure ideas. She surprises herself sometimes where her writing takes her and loves how deeply involved she can get in creating the visuals for new worlds.
Losing yourself is a must.
