Suite à l’étude du poème chanté de Shel Silverstein, les élèves de 5^e ont écrit un poème animalier à la façon de Silverstein grâce à une fiche pour les guider.

Voici quelques unes de leurs productions.

The Lion’s Headache par Émilie et Omny

The lion
Went to the doctor’s,
And sat down in the chair.
And the doctor said : “Now tell me, Sir
Why does it hurt and Where ?
And the lion said « I have a pain in my head
I have a terrible, terrible ache in my head »
The doctor gave it a tablet.
And suddenly the doctor shaved the mane of the lion.
The lion was annoyed so he bit the doctor because he
was evil.
CRAK CRAK
Where was the leg of the doctor gone ?
In the lion’s mouth.

The elephant par Manon et Oumaima

The Elephant who had an ear ache
Went to the doctor’s
And sat down in the chair
And the doctor said « now tell me, sir, why does it hurt and where ? »
And the elephant said « I’ll tell you the truth,
My ears are big, i have a terrible pain in my ears
The doctor tested the elephant’s ears.
The doctor, he climbed on the elephant’s ears.
And the doctor laughed « Oh isn’t this fun ? »
As he cut one ear with a saw.
And the elephant cried “It hurts”
But what’s one elephant’s ear’s more or less ?
Then suddenly the elephant ran away.

As he pulled an ear out.
And the elephant cried, « You’re hurting me so !
Please put down your pliers and let me go. « But the doctor laughed with a HO HO HO,
And he said, “I still have one to go
Oops, that’s the wrong one, I confess,
But what’s one elephant’s ears more or a less ?”

He left no forwarding address,
But what’s one doctor, more or less ?
