Winner

Bobby da Bonxie by Lisa, Sound Primary

Bobby da Bonxie is a unbiddable aald guy,
An he is braaly sleekit.
Maist o da time he likes to keep da nest safe,
Ta his friends he is aafil ill-vicket!

He’s black and he’s broon,
Wi twartree muckle claas on his taes.
He has a ill-naitered look in his een,
Wi a guggled neb fae his huntin days.

He flees dat swiftly trow da air,
Laek a fast jet plane.
Swoopin up an doon in a loop-de-loop,
Da lassies wid never complain!

Maist o da time he jost sits around,
But sometimes unleashes his evil wrath.
Whan he catches da idder birds,
He stops dem fae dir fishy path.

Second Place

The Speeder by Caroline, Leswalt Primary

Ootside an auld wirthlless hoose ..........
Just ooside the door is a peerie, sleekit, gowden ettercap

He sits upon his dainshoch , siller wab
Cannily pitin it the gither
it skinkles in the blawing win `n sun

The sleekit , wee speeder sits day `n nicht
In the licht `o the wee hoose
Tho hi is wabbit `n crabbit
He cairries on
Till his bonnie wab is din

Third place

Beasties by Meghan, Wallace Primary

See ma wee dug, she’s awfy braw,
She loves tae play oot in the snaw.

Sometimes I take’er up the brae,
She would love tae stay there aw day.

Ma wee dug’s startin tae get auld,
When I take’er oot she seems really cauld.

When she sees a wean, she starts tae feel,
Like she wants tae be a pup again.
