Rain


The rain is fulling up the tank and making water just for us, but also makes the ground all muddy.

The Buckle

My favourite Poem.

The Buckle by RL Stevenson

I had a silver buckle.
I sewed it on my shoe,
And 'neath a sprig of mistletoe
I danced the evening through!

I had a bunch of cowslips,
I hid them in a grot
In case the elves should come by night
And me remember not.

I had a yellow riband
I tied it in my hair
That walking in the garden,
The birds might see it there.

I had a secret laughter,
I laughed it near the wall:
Only the ivy and the wind
May tell of it at all.

The Bridge

Here is the bridge
Where I love to stop.
The cars go under,
the trains on top.

I stand on the pavement,
And watch them go,
The trains on top
And the cars below..

The buckle

I had a silver buckle,
I sewed it on my shoe,
and` neath a sprig of mistletoe
I danced the evening through!



I had a bunch of cowslips,
I hid them in a grot
In case the elves should come by night
And me remember not.



I had a yellow riband,
I tied it in my hair
That, walking in the garden,
The birds might see it there.



I had a secret laughter,
I laughed it near the wall:
Only the ivy and the wind
May tell of it at all.

THE CAT SAT ASLEEP

The cat sat asleep by the fire,
the mistress snored loud as a pig,
jack took up his fiddle by jenny`s desire
and struck up a bit of a jig.

THE PRETTY BIRD

Mary had a pretty bird
with feathers bright and yellow-
slender legs-upon my word-
he was a pretty fellow.

Kings.

They can be mean or good.
They have gold.
They fight vermin.
They kill knights.
They kill dragons.
They kill animals.
They cheer "Kill".
They fight for victory.

Bears


Bears are big and bears are small,
Bears are everywhere and tall,
They hide, they sneak, they trick,
They crawl, they snuggle up to you when you are scared,
They tell you the dreams that you might want.
