Use these magical and mysterious creatures as a tantalising hook to get your pupils scrawling and scratching out their own monstrous poems... POEM 1 Goblin Attack News Appeal GOOD EVENING – THERE HAS BEEN A DEVASTATING GOBLIN ATTACK IN THE LOCAL AREA. WE ARE SEEKING A GOBLIN HUNTER URGENTLY! Everyone has seen the news of a severe goblin crisis. On Friday 28th April, a series of goblin attacks struck the town, claiming thousands of victims. These goblins have carried out a series of goblin pranks. They have: sung when babies sleep, stolen eggs from fridges, robbed supermarket freezers and shelves of fresh goods, tipped the helmets of police, flicked mud at windows, poked people in their ears as they slept, painted fire engines blue, tap-danced on café tables and stolen sugar lumps, poured pink paint into rivers ripped up park daffodils, bombarded shoppers with bluebells, used bad language in schools and burned the maths books. Yes, thousands of people have been goblin-pranked! The toll is rising like a tsunami – millions have been left without self-respect. The police say that the toll to mental health will soon become a crisis. Every minute counts and that is why, we are asking for your support today. Goblin tamers, whisperers and hunters please apply!
