POLLY POODLE'S PLATE

(A Poem for Little Children)

Polly Poodle saw a dish

As full of food as she could wish

And the dish said, clearly, for all to see,

The magic letters D.O.G.

Tilly Tortoise said 'Me too!

I want a dish of food like you!'

But Polly said 'Take it from me;

Tortoise doesn't start with D'

Rory Robin said 'Tweet Tweet!'

I want some tasty food to eat!'

But Polly said 'Take it from me;

Robin doesn't start with D'

The food was tasty, nice and hot,

And Polly Poodle ate the lot!

WINDOW WEB

We came inside because the sky was grey

And drops of rain were falling on the ground.

We had a cup of tea in a cafe

And then we simply strolled and looked around.

But, suddenly, we lifted up our eyes

And saw the sky was once more shining through.

The web of window was a great surprise

And its capture of a spread of brilliant blue.
