I got a letter the other day saying that my son, Edward who is 13, has succeeded in getting his poem published in a book. I know that there are loads of kids who have been, are being and will be published but I am really chuffed. Well done Edward. The poem is short but I thought it was funny. What do you think?

“Sit”
We do and she writes on the board. “Poetry”
