I'm not sure if this is a real My York News story but my 8 year old son, William Watts, has suddenly turned his hand to poetry.

Last weekend he penned the following poem about his stepmum, Dawn McCowan.

Dawn, a poem

Dawn is fantastic

She really makes us laugh

But when I finish football

She makes me have a bath

Dawn is pretty

She has a big smile

But when I do my jogging

I have to do a mile

Dawn is a lion

She growls and growls and growls

But when is it night time

She goes out searching for owls

Dawn is sometimes nasty

She shouts at me like mad

But when I'm in my bedroom

She starts doing it at dad!!
