C.J.Dennis and children's poetry

C.J.Dennis was an Australian poet who was one of the first to write a selection of poetry for children. He had no children of his own but one of his friends had a child who became sick so to keep the child entertained he wrote a series of poems for their amusement.

The two poems we have recited and reflected on are "The Triantiwontigongolope" and "Hist".

This week we have to draw a picture in Paint of what we envision a triantiwontigongolope is and write a short review of Hist using the proforma supplied.
