WINNER FOR FUSE

THE BIG FIVE-O by Michael C

Fifty is a number , the big five-0 Half a century , that ’ s old , whoa ! People are in their 50 ’ s but say they ’ re in their 20 ’ s How many people do that ? I can tell you , plenty !
If you score 50 in a rugby match , you ’ re doing well You usually have 50 minutes for your lunch break , before they ring the bell The number 50 bus goes through Kings Heath When you ’ re 50 , you start to have false teeth
50 is a bank note , think of all that money 50 degrees would be unspeakably sunny The 0 in fifty is , around the castle , a moat You could easily sail there but first you ’ ll need a boat
50 percent in a test is half Bad enough to make you laugh You ’ re not that great If you ’ re 50 minutes late !!!
50 in the charts is not a very good song If you don ’ t like it , it ’ ll last very long 50 years old is a grand old age Old , but everyone has to go through that stage
50 backwards is 05 You ’ d only just be alive ! “ 50 miles in that direction ” 50 votes in an election
50 years of Potential Plus Wow , that ’ s lush You ’ ll notice this poem is really long ‘ Cause next year I ’ ll be writing ‘ bout 51 !
HANNAH SAID
Michael ' s ‘ The Big Five 0 ’ focuses on how the number fifty is around us in our everyday lives . It shows the practical element of the number fifty and is very well written . ‘ Next year I ’ ll be writing ‘ bout 51 !’ We hope so !
