Little Red Shirt

LITTLE RED SHIRT

Hey little Red Shirt! Hold your hat!

Dance in the summer sun.

Why catch bubbles when they go 'Splat!'

'I catch them because it's fun!

They land on my nose or on my head;

I carol my songs of glee.

Big Brother catches the biggest ones,

But some are meant for me.

See that big one up ahead.

That's mine I'll be bound.

So high, so light, so magical

And perfectly, perfectly round.'

DUCK

There was a young lady from Dorking......

When she spoke it was like a duck squawking

People covered their ears

Or burst into tears

Saying 'Why don't you talk proper talking?'
