I didn’t do nothing wrong,
honest I didn’t.
Well, if you look under the
dining table,
you might find something
that shouldn’t be there.
It just happened.
I’m so sorry.
Am I in trouble?
“Mother’s Day” by James Aitchison
Leave a commentMother’s Day should be every day,
Every day of the year!
Her love is never-ending,
Her time she’s always spending,
We wouldn’t last a minute
Without our mothers in it,
So let’s celebrate our Mother’s Day,
Because we hold her dear!
“Hitching A Fruity Ride” by Celia Berrell
Leave a commentA plant that makes fruit to disperse its seed will give many creatures a juicy feed.
They’ll gobble it up then travel a bit. The seeds come out later in excrement.
The seed’s ready-planted in clumps of dung. A long way from home and its prying Mum.
With plenty of food
that will help it grow,
it does what it likes …
‘cos its mother won’t know!

“Artist at work” by Jenny Erlanger
Leave a commentHe stands back, admiring his artwork. It’s finished and ready to view. My brother has obvious talent for someone who’s not even two.
He’s used the whole packet of crayons, the colours are simply divine. He’s captured his circles and squiggles in such a creative design.
But Grannie’s not praising my brother. She doesn’t look happy at all. If only he’d drawn on the paper and not on her living room wall.
“Sock it to me” by James Aitchison
Leave a commentI took off a sock
and got a shock —
my toes had all turned green.
I took off the other,
and what a bother —
there wasn’t a toe to be seen!
“Field of Light, Uluru” by James Aitchison
Leave a commentI walked in light one sacred night, while mulga dreamed of morning bright.
Beyond the light and colours bright, the desert oaks unseen and quiet.
“Beware the Sandwich” by James Aitchison
Leave a commentA sand witch ate a sandwich, which tasted very good. Then she took another bite, one more than she should. Let the sand witch's sandwiches, which the sand witch ate, be a warning to you: eating too many sandwiches can send you too to the loo!
