A Little Bit About Me
I grow jelly in my garden.
My favourite colour is monkey.
I have a pet lamppost.
My favourite football team is Pork Pie United.
I drive a bowl of rice.
My wardrobe is a house for 6,000 pigeons.
My sofa is a giraffe called Dustin.
I eat paintbrushes for lunch.
My beard has legs.
My fingers talk to each other.
I don’t always tell the truth.
A pig lives under my bed and sings me to sleep.
My favourite colour is monkey.
I have a pet lamppost.
My favourite football team is Pork Pie United.
I drive a bowl of rice.
My wardrobe is a house for 6,000 pigeons.
My sofa is a giraffe called Dustin.
I eat paintbrushes for lunch.
My beard has legs.
My fingers talk to each other.
I don’t always tell the truth.
A pig lives under my bed and sings me to sleep.
