The Ghost of the Quaggy Splash, Splash goes the ghost of the Quaggy, Shallow Dirty Smells like muddy water And especially likes biscuits At night when its misty It comes out To eat And climbs Up sand Up rocks Like the Sea eats The land Harriet Conti Joint winner of the River of Words competition The Scary Quaggy The Quaggy Is dirty Tastes horrible The Quaggy Is a scary green monster With wide eyes Eyes bigger than a person It comes out all day and all night Looking for meat People meat It sits on them And that’s how it swallows them Elizabeth Conti Joint winner of the River of Words competition
