TIME TRAVELLER

Next time you go to London,

Make sure that you're aware

Of this celebrated gentleman;

You'll find him everywhere.

He's lived before; he's living now;

He'll be living when you're gone.

His immortal life-span 

Goes on and on and on!

The plaques look very authentic,

But that is just a rumour.

They're here to show you that the Brits

Still have a sense of humour.

But wait! There's more! Why, here he is!

On the cover of a book!

That proves the gentleman exists.

Go to London! Take a look!

WHEN I AM OLD

'When I am old' said Daisy,

'I'll sit beneath a tree

And I'll be wise and clever;

People will visit me.

I'll sit there in my rocking-chair

With a shawl around my shoulder

And everyone will look-up to me

Because I'm so much older.

The tree will be big and shady

To shelter me from the sun,

And I'll be a sweet old lady,

Welcoming everyone.'

' But' said Mother, 'How do you know

The right tree will be growing?

There may not be a handy tree.

There's just no way of knowing.'

'Then I'll plant a tree!' said Daisy,

'A big tree of my own!

When I am old, the tree will be big!

Both of us will have grown!'
