NUMERACY

 

You ask me what comes after 2

so I reply ‘4’.

‘No, no, Michael’ you say,

‘It’s 3, it’s 3. Okay!’.

 

I try to correct you

but you just won’t listen!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IF I WERE

 

If I were an astronaut

I’d fly across deep space,

and fight off all the aliens

to save the human race.

 

If I were a pirate

I’d get a lot of pleasure

from sailing in my boat each day

then digging for some treasure.

 

If I were an animal

I’d have an eagle’s claw,

a rhino’s tusk, a dragon’s tail,

and roar a lion’s roar.

 

If I were a grown up,

life would be so great.

I’d give out all the orders

and go to bed past 8!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WE KEEP A DRAGON IN OUR LOFT

 

We keep a dragon in our loft.

Our neighbours are afraid.

Our dragon’s not like others though,

and breathes out lemonade!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SPRING

 

We looked at flowers today

because it is Spring

and saw a Bumble Bee sting a daisy.

The Bee was happy but then a wasp chased it

away.

The Bee was scared because

If you get stung by a wasp

you turn into one

and have to spend most of

the day buzzing at windows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OH, REALLY!

 

My ears are purring like a cat.

My eyes are flapping like a bat.

My hair is leaping like a frog.

My nostrils bark just like a dog.

 

My stomach buzzes like a bee

My shoulders jump just like a flea

My funky moves go ‘Moo, moo, moo’

My legs sing ‘Cock-a-doodle-do’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BIG EARS

 

My Daddy has very big ears

as he can hear me say

‘Bogey’ even when I whisper it

under my breath.

 

He hates me saying ‘Bogey’

but sometimes I forget,

which makes him quite upset

and ends up with me on the naughty step.

 

Saying ‘Bogey’ makes me laugh,

but not as much as saying ‘Bum!’
