Be It On Your Head by James Aitchison

What’s that bird 

doing on my head?

Why doesn’t it

fly away instead?

It’s not fair

being a statue,

because I know

what birds like to do!

James’ poem was inspired by the image below which was taken in Venice

Silly Sculpture by James Aitchison

By ozchildrenspoetry August 17, 2023

He’s holding up the building,

With only his left hand.

But both his legs are missing —

I don’t understand!

What a silly sculpture,

It made me want to laugh;

How can you hold up a building

When you’ve been cut in half?

Teacher’s note: The city of Vienna has many ornate sculptures
decorating its buildings.
