My favourite poemSoldier Freddy

Soldier Freddywas never ready,But! Soldier Neddy,unlike FreddyWas always readyand steady,

That's why,When Soldier NeddyIs-outside-Buckingham-Palace-on-guard-in -the-pouring-wind-and-rain-being-steady-and-ready ,Freddyis home in beddy.

Spike Milligan

Why I like this poem• It’s funny, because Spike Milligan was a funny

man. I don’t think it has a very powerful message though.

• There’s lots of rhyme.• It has a lot of alliteration but not much else!• It’s a silly story about two soldiers and it makes

me laugh.• This is a picture of Spike Milligan dressed as a

soldier
