The Jam Wars! By Jasmine Buckingham Shum Bushfield School, Wolverton
As we know, the Ligh=es are small
and weak!
Yeah, they’re like the size of a
scared mouse!
Silence! We’ve got a leCer from
them.
It says: “Although we’re small,
but not weak, we are not liCle cheats!”
There was one small lighty marmalade, and one small
darky marmalade
And the small Lighty Marmalade whispered, “Hi, I’m not allowed to go and fight because
I’m too young”
Why do we fight each other?
Because we’re dark and tall, and you’re
short and fat!
No, you mean you’re tall and skinny, and we’re just made in the right way!
Let’s go talk somewhere else so the grown-‐ups
don’t hear.
Hey, there’s a good place over
here!
(I’m dehydra=ng!)
Errgh! There’s lots of other jams in here
Look here: we’re liCle ones — and so are they so let’s just have some
fun!
Urgh – but look at them – they’ve got funny hats and clothes!
(I’m dehydra=ng!)
No we don’t! You’re fat…
…and your hat’s are too boring!
Stop it!! We all found this place, and let’s share it.
My mum and dad are figh=ng against The Apples
And my mum and dad are
figh=ng against The Colourful
Hats
Us Darky Marmalades are figh=ng against the Lighty Marmalades
That’s weird. We’re all figh=ng against
each other
Please help us. We need to stop them
OK, let’s go everyone
STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!!!
I’ve been sharing that box over there with
a Lighty
And Darky Marmalades are fine
Let’s all share the cupboard together
And with all our other friends too. They’re not even Marmalades!
It’s much cosier in here with everyone!
It’s much cosier in here with everyone!
I think it would be quite cold with only one kind
of Marmalade!
