Poem
West Kennet Long Barrow
Is The Place To Go
When You Pass Away
And Want To Get Down To The Floor
There are no trees around
That would have dropped leaves on ya
But there are some stones
That'll protect you from intrudas
When I first saw the WKLB
I was like"Oh my! What can this be?"
I then started to get closer to it
I then saw a hole where a human body can be fit
I started digging, and digging
Looking for some treasure
I was gonna give, but then I found somethin
A human child's skeleton next to its motha
I was amazed of what I have just found
Piece of old history at my feet
I began thinking, and think of what I should do
"Maybe I should cover it up with some sheets"
I was excited
Didn't know what to do
Maybe I should call ma momma
Maybe she'll give me a clue
The WKLB
became constructed in 3600 B.C
Took 15,700 man hours to make
I bet the workers were baked (by the sun)
It's noted to have 46 burials
Ranging from Lil babies to the elderlies
Lying down there
With tombs filled with charcoal, bone tools, and beads
The WKLB ain't no joke
All time spent weren't wasted
The people buried ain't no originals
It is special
The WKLB
Known to be the place that has special death ceremonies
Was probably a very religious place for very religious people
Me and ma mamma be proud of my discovery.

Paul,
ReplyDeleteGood job completing all the assignments to date on the blog. Good set-up with links to my site and good pictures. I want you to work on better summaries. Please proofread anything you publish. That first blog post has MANY grammatical errors in it. Come see me, I'm happy to help.
The poem has at least 4 characteristics in it, and the rhyme/rapping style is interesting. However, you lose the prescientific viewpoint very quickly with this style. You were supposed to write from the view of being a worshipper at this site. Finally, your research shouldn't have been in rap format.
