Rap Poems
Cat-rap
by Grace Nichols
Lying on the sofa
all curled and meek
but in my furry-fuzzy head
there's a rapping beat.
Gonna rap while I'm napping
and looking sweet
gonna rap while I'm padding
on the balls of my feet
Gonna rap on my head
......
The Boneyard Rap
by Wes Magee
This is the rhythm
of the boneyard rap,
knuckle bones click
and hand bones clap,
finger bones flick
and thigh bones slap,
when you're doing the rhythm
of the boneyard rap.
Wooooooooooooooo!
It's the boneyard rap

Rapper Stuff
by Saleh Ben Saleh
To all you rhymers that like the beat,
come join the rappers on the street.
It's time for us to hear the best,
we gonna put you to the test.
Bring on all words that rhyme,
for every verse must sound sublime.
We got no time for idle sounds,
the finest rhymes will be renowned.
So if you think your game enough,
Let’s hear you play some rapper stuff.

Damsel in distress rap
by John Agard
Bring on your shining armour, dude.
I'll be your damsel in distress with attitude.
I'll turn your hunk to butter
in a flutter of mascara
flood you in promises
of happy-ever-after.
I'll lay my head on your chest
as I put you to the test.
Spoonfeed your ego's ear

A Little Nap Rap
by Christine De Luca
A little nap rap
When I got home one evening
to my cosy living room
I found a squirrel at my table
and a hedgehog with a broom.
A fox switched on the hoover,
beat my doormat with his tail,
while the squirrel did the kitchen
with a mophead and a pail.
