Jade brews poetic gem!

A TWELVE-year-old's poem about her mum is to be splashed across half a million packs of tea after she won a national competition.

Jade Flannery, from Clock Face beat thousands of other hopefuls to have her work printed on Tetley Tea packets.

Mum Chris said: "I didn't realise that Jade had decided to enter the competition and only found out when she asked me if it was OK to send the entry off. But I was even more shocked to read what she'd written! I think the poem's great though and I can't wait to see it out on packs."

St Cuthbert's pupil Jade said: "I love writing, which is why I entered the Tetley competition. I was shocked when I found out that I'd won - but also very thrilled."

Her poem titled Supermum goes like this:

She studies at night, works all day.

Draws cartoons, writes stories, has fun games to play.

She parachutes, likes weird music and dances really bad!

Sings into a hairbrush - Dad says 'Ignore her - she's mad!'

Asks crazy things like 'How big's my bum?'

But to me, she'll always be Supermum.
