Poetry by Spike Milligan

In particular:

• Onomatopia
• On the Ning Nang Nong

Excellent device at helping children to learn technical devices used in writing, and to remember them in a fun and interesting way.
These poems would also be excellent to use in EYFS and KS2 as the entertaining nonscensical words introduce children to the wonders of poetry!

On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
and the monkeys all say BOO!
There's a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots jibber jabber joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang
And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So its Ning Nang Nong
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning
Trees go ping
Nong Ning Nang
The mice go Clang
What a noisy place to belong
is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!
