Creativity : THE GLUM GUMP

【明報專訊】Name: Tze Wai Hon Jaden School: Pui Kiu Primary School

A boy named Gump who chewed a gum.

With a drum in his hand, he had played it fun,

Hums rhythms that made his heart bump.

But one day with a bright sun, Gump felt glum,

As his mum scolded him, calling him dumb.

Gump said the sum of one plus one is none.

His mum was angry and hit his bum.

And she said, "Put down that drum, my son,

It's time to grow up and be someone."

MoMo : The poem has a nice rhythmic flow, especially with the use of rhymes like "fun" and "bump".

Dr Panda : Jaden, keep up the great work and continue to express your creativity through writing!
