My First Day

Everyone knows the monkey

On his first day off to school

He clung to his mother’s apron

And clung to the wooden stool,

But in came father looking cross

He picked him up and said

"What’s all this noise, I’m trying to sleep

But with this noise I will get no sleep.

I’m scarred he said, "of going to school,

I’m scarred of what they’ll do.

I’ve never been to school before

And I what to stay with you."

You can’t do that, his father said

"I have to go to work,

I have to earn some money

To buy your mothers skirt."

"I know, he said but still I’m scarred

And Simon is the same,

He has never been before

But he says we play games".

Of course you do, his father said

"You play all kinds of things,

You draw and paint and roller-skate

And have loads of fun.

And before you know it,

You’ll be home

With me and mummy

Home sweet home.

So off went the monkey,

His lunch and his toy,

Apple in his hand,

And a feeling of joy

All day they laughed and played

Had their lunch and played again,

Then the bell they gave a groan

And the kids came racing home.

Mummy, mummy I had fun,

I played games with everyone,

Daddy, daddy don’t be sad

I love you and I am glad

That you sent me off to school

Where I met and where I learned

With the children who were there

They taught me to lend and share

Thank you daddy once again,

I can’t wait to go again…….

The Winner

The cheetah is the fastest

Animal to run

He’s just as fast as a bullet

Being shot out of a gun.

But he may be very fast

And we are very slow

But learn a lesson from the cheetah

And let’s all have a go.

You may not be a winner

You may come last of all

But don’t be put off

By the fact you’re very small.

Because everyone’s a winner

Deep down you know I’m right.

And you are not a loser

So don’t give up without a fight.

Always do your best

Your family loves you so

And even if you’re not a winner

Well at least you had a go.

Two Little Roses

A love will bloom for you to grow,

Strong and healthy like flowers in a row.

Sheltered by, the wind and rain,

Waiting for the sun again.

Up you’ll sprout, so strong and tall,

Lying down or against the wall.

Together strong you’ll always be,

Two little Roses, Just growing free.

Two Little Bears

Two little bears,

Were skating on ice,

Dancing and playing

From morning till night.

Chris was the big one

And Marion the small

And they had two children

And with them had a ball.

They both were very clever,

They both were very good,

And they loved each other

The best that they could.

So too bears and too children

I beg you all tonight

Goodnight to everyone

And to you all a goodnight.

Rabbits

We are a family of rabbits

Two parents and three small,

We live inside a burrow,

But it’s not big at all.

Our names are Nick and Lorna,

Our kids are Debbie and Jayne,

And Not forgetting out youngest,

And Angie is her name…

To be a Bird

Of all the things I’d like to be

A bird is what I’d be,

I’ll sour over the rooftops

And the world is what I’d see.

Over bright blue oceans,

And over fields of green,

Never before such beauty,

Have I truly ever seen?

The bird flies with such grace,

So soft and smooth he flies,

Into a night of stars

And into pitch-black sky’s.

To be a bird I’ll love it,

So graceful I would be

And never would a hunter

Dare to shoot at me.

I’d fly so fast they’d miss me,

I’m too fast for
