2. My favourite poem Soldier Freddy
Soldier Freddy was never ready, But! Soldier Neddy, unlike Freddy Was always ready and steady, That's why, When Soldier Neddy Is-outside-Buckingham-Palace-on-guard-in -the-pouring-wind-and-rain-being-steady-and-ready , Freddy is home in beddy.

3. Why I like this poem
It’s funny, because Spike Milligan was a funny man. I don’t think it has a very powerful message though.
There’s lots of rhyme.
It has a lot of alliteration but not much else!
It’s a silly story about two soldiers and it makes me laugh.
