Cool
1st Prize – Special Needs

Summer holidays are cool
Homework is not

Dogs are cool
Dogs’ poo is not

Mini motos are cool
Broken necks are not

Being young, cool
Smoking drugs, not

Nice perfume is cool
Smelly feet are not

Getting nice clothes, cool
Old clothes, not

Laughing is cool
Joyriding, not

Dream
2nd Prize Special Needs

I have a Dream
Of me and my pony
Riding across
The fields.

I have a Dream
Of me and my pony
Jumping over hedges.

I have a Dream
Of me and my pony
Being anywhere -
But school.

Cool
3rd Prize Special Needs

I like to drive a mini-moto,
But I don’t like to crash.
I like to swim,
But I don’t like to drown.
I like being rich, I hate being robbed.
I like to play after dark,
But don’t kidnap me or I will call the police.
