Poems for 7 year olds

hi, please would you recommend poems for my 7 years old boy, it's part of his year 3 homework, we've done Wind on the Hill, Roald Dalh and Silverstein in previous terms, English isn't his forte.. hard work .. but with some perseverance he ended up loving the funny rhythms and flowing verses, I am keen to keep him hooked but scraping my barrels here, please what are your favourites that I can borrow?

Have you looked at Heard it in the Playground by Allan Ahlberg (author of Each Peach Pear Plum and Peepo)?

Don’t do,
Don’t do,
Don’t do that.
Don’t pull faces,
Don’t tease the cat.

Don’t pick your ears,
Don’t be rude at school.
Who do they think I am?

Some kind of fool?

One day
they’ll say
Don’t put toffee in my coffee
don’t pour gravy on the baby
don’t put beer in his ear
don’t stick your toes up his nose.

Don’t put confetti on the spaghetti
and don’t squash peas on your knees.

Don’t put ants in your pants
don’t put mustard in the custard
don’t chuck jelly at the telly
and don’t throw fruit at the computer
don’t throw fruit at the computer.

Don’t what?
Don’t throw fruit at the computer.
Don’t what?
Don’t throw fruit at the computer.
Who do they think I am?

Some kind of fool?
