Zebrantics

One for the children today.

ZEBRANTICS

One day, for a change, you see,

My zebra came to school with me!

She sat as quiet as a mouse

Inside our little play-play house.

At lunch she tried to eat my food!

I thought that that was rather rude!

She liked the painting time the best;

She painted better than the rest!

She watched as we all did our dancing

But didn't join in with some prancing!

And she didn't like it very much

When we fed the rabbit in its hutch!

At dress-up time she was a bore;

She simply gazed down at the floor!

At home-time Mum said 'As a rule

A zebra's not much fun in school'.

And I said 'Well, tomorrow, maybe

Zebra can stay home with Baby.'

This little story was in picture-book form and I 'translated' it into verse.
