Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory
By Melissa, Athul, Alex,
Ananya, and Harrell
There once was a family
Who was very poor.
In their house was only one
bed.
It was a great bore.
The boy’s name was Charlie.
On his birthday he got no
toy.
Instead he got a Wonka Bar
When he ate it he was filled
with joy.
Grandpa Joe tells Charlie a
story
About a man called Prince
Pondicherry.
He wanted a house made of
chocolate.
The house was out of the
ordinary.
Spies went to steal Wonka’s
ideas,
The act was very severe.
It hurts Mr. Wonka’s feelings
And took away his cheer.
Mr. Wonka hands out tickets
Colored bright gold.
They are under candy bars
Waiting to be sold.
The first finder is Augustus
Gloop.
He is very fat.
The second is Veruca Salt.
She’s such a brat.
Charlie’s birthday is coming
up;
It’s coming very soon.
He will get a Wonka Bar
Before the time of
The third finder is Violet
Beauregarde
A famous gum chewer.
The fourth finder is Mike
Teavee
He is such a TV viewer.
Grandpa Joe gives Charlie a
dime
To buy a Wonka Bar.
They weren’t very lucky.
There is no glistening star.
Charlie finds a whole dollar
Lying in the street.
He finds it near a gutter,
Right there next to his feet.
Charlie wins the golden
ticket
And was filled with surprise.
Photographers were taking his
picture
Because he won the last
prize.
Charlie shows it to his
parents
And to Grandpa Joe too.
Charlie was very happy
That the contest was finally
through.
The winners go to the factory
Waiting to go in.
The gates are starting to
open;
The adventure will soon
begin.
They meet Mr. Wonka
A very silly fellow.
He has a small goatee
And he wasn’t very mellow.
They go into the factory
And into the chocolate room.
There are candy buttercups
Waiting to finally bloom.
Wonka’s workers are Oompa
Loompas
Straight from
There’s nothing strange about
them
Their sighting was quite
grand.
August Gloop starts drinking
the river
And gets sucked up the pipe.
The suctions go him stuck in
there
The situations very tight.
Charlie and the others
Go on a big pink boat
Made out of boiled sweets
That can actually float.
The children go to the
inventing room
Where toffee and gobstoppers
are born.
It was a magical sight to
everyone
That surely could be sworn.
He showed the gum maker,
A wonderful machine.
It poured all the ingredients
Into a small canteen.
Violet tried Wonka’s gum
And became a blueberry.
She as rolled to the juicing
room
In a small pink ferry.
They passed a lot of rooms,
Like square candy that looks
round.
Mrs. Salt did not approve
And turned with a frown.
Veruca goes to the nut room
And wants a squirrel of her
own.
The squirrels decide she’s a
bad nut
And down the garbage chute
she’s thrown.
They go in a big elevator
Made out of pure glass.
It has many buttons for rooms
Which they can overpass.
They to the television room
Where you can transfer stuff,
Chocolate bars, cereal boxes
And even marshmallow fluff.
Mike wanted to be on TV
Like all the other stuff.
Wonka said, “It will have a
price.”
Mike found out it was not a
bluff.
Everyone leaves because of
their mishaps.
Charlie’s the only one there.
They go to the glass elevator
And out of the roof they
tear.
The other children all go
home.
They wished they never came.
They never recovered from
their problems.
It really was a shame.
Since Charlie is the only one
left;
He wins the grand prize.
The prize is the factory,
To Charlie it was a surprise.
