Steven Spielberg to film

Roald Dahl’s ‘BFG’

Steven Spielberg will adapt Roald Dahl’s beloved BFG for the big screen, but probably not before he completes his untitled Cold War thriller with Tom Hanks.

*

According to THR, Spielberg will make BFG for DreamWorks in the early months of 2015, giving him time to squeeze in a “smaller movie” before then.

My New Year Resolutions

On New Year’s Day


By Kenn Nesbitt

On New Year’s Day a year ago,
I started off the year
by making resolutions
that were probably severe.
***
I said I’d save my money,
as this seemed so very wise.
I vowed I would improve my health.
I swore I’d exercise.
***
I stated I would do my homework
every single day.
I’d brush my teeth religiously
to ward off tooth decay.
***
I’d eat my fruits and vegetables
and keep my bedroom clean.
I’d treat my sister kindly
though she’s often very mean.
***
My resolutions lasted me
about a half a day.
I promised I would keep them
but I broke them anyway.
***
So now I’m fat and penniless.
My homework’s overdue.
My sister’s mad. My teeth are bad.
My room is messy too.
***
And yet I think I may have found
the best of all solutions,
and this year I’ve resolved
to make NO resolutions.

Ring, a Ring, a Rosies

Ring, a Ring, a Rosies

Ring, a ring, a rosies,
A pocketful of posies,
Atichoo atichoo,
We all fall down.

**********

Dancing round the garland,
Children all a’ starving,
Atichoo atichoo,
We all fall down.

**********

Ring, a ring, a rosies,
A pocketful of posies,
Atichoo atichoo,
We all fall down.

**********

Lying in our bedsteads,
Stay there till we’re all dead,
Atichoo atichoo,
We all fell down,
Atichoo atichoo,
We all fell down.

Jack and Jill went up the Hill

Jack and Jill went up the Hill

Jack and Jill went up the hill,

To fetch a pot of distemper.

Jack saw it first and picked it up,

 But Jill came running after.

*************

“I want that pot!” said Jill so loud,

Jack thought she was a disaster.

“You can have the pot and distemper too!”

He said, pouring it over her head, with laughter.

There was an angry old Troll

There was an angry old Troll,

Who wanted to get rid of us all,

So he started to sing,

Like Des O’Connor, real mean,

And bored us to death; did that Troll.

A Slug Called Reilly

There once was a slug called Reilly,

Who was incredibly slimy,

He thought he was smart,

Going out in the dark,

Until he fell down in a hole, did Reilly.

  **********

While stuck in that dark place,

Reilly thought about his life and his fate,

About the jerk he had been,

To everyone he had seen,

So he promised to be good, did Reilly.

  **********

Suddenly, a stick falling into the hole,

Presented a way to escape from it all,

Freed from that space,

Reilly forgot his promise, though great.

And returned to his bad ways, did Reilly.

  **********

One day when Reilly was alone,

He forgot to cover up his dank home,

It was an incredibly hot day,

The sun shone brightly away,

Drying him up, that slug, old Reilly,

 **********

The moral of my story is this,

Treat everyone you meet with a wish,

That their life is just fine,

Untroubled by lying and slime,

Don’t end up like silly old Reilly.

 **********
