My Free Verse Poem

I have been learning to write all types of poetry using different language features. This week I learnt how to write a free verse poem. A free verse poem is a poem which you can include anything you want in it. I wrote a free verse poem on lollies.

LOLLIES

There was once a grumpy, grouchy, gross man called Creepy Cross Colin.
Slurp slurp slurp- he was a terrible eater.
When it was " Sports Day For Old Men"
everybody would say, " Creepy Colin's such a cheater."
When the old man ate, he would get bits of food stuck in his long black beard.
Everyone thought he was weird.
He was as grumpy as an old lion.
One day Colin saw a shop full of lollies,
Normally he would have just snorted, grrrrr and walked past.
But something odd caught his eye...
A small sign that said: FREE LOLLIES
Ahhhhh, Colin gasped, "Mollie"s Lollie shop?"
He said amazed.
Molly was his old best friend that he missed soooo much.
She thought that money was stupid, so she gave away everythig for free.
Colin went into the shop and took thousands of lollies and ate them all!
Then he went to the lady at the front counter
and asked if the shop was owed by Molly.
She said, ''No sir, this shop is owed by Mr. Spok,
and by the way, will now you pay for all those lollies?"
But.. but.. stammered Colin.
"The sign on the door is a trick", she said with a cheeky grin.
Colin was in shock!
"Now how many lollies did you eat?"
