Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition

My mum is like a bird,
always cleaning up her nest.
My sister is like a cat,
always trying to keep herself the best.
My dad is like a beaver,
always building a big wall.
I think of myself as a giraffe,
because I am very tall.
My nan is like a koala,
always very sweet.
My pop is like a crocodile,
if you get on his bad side you're in for a treat.
That is my family I am so proud,
we're just like animals because we're LOUD.
