Favourites by Pauline Cleary

Leave a comment

My favourite colour is purple.
My favourite food is cheese.
I’m very fond of Saturdays
when I can do whatever I please.

My favourite season is Autumn
When the leaves are red and brown
I like to cycle up steep hills
and glide the same way down

My favourite animal is zebra.
I love those crazy stripes.
Magpie is my favourite bird
dressed in black and white.

My favourite place is the seaside,
the waves, the sand, the spray.
I swim and surf and jump the waves
and play around all day.

But last, not least, I have to say
are the ones I can’t do without –
my family, friends, my little dog
are my favourites without a doubt.

Caravan Winter Waves by Pauline Cleary

We’re marooned in a caravan
and the rain is pouring down.
It’s pounding on the roof top,
a relentless, driving sound.

There’s a moat forming around us
and the ducks are moving in.
We could be here for days and days.
It could be sink or swim.

But inside the caravan,
It’s cosy, warm and bright.
We’ll dream of sun and sea and waves
While it buckets down all night.
