Cloud Racing
Jump on a cloud; let’s go for a race.
Mine’s an elephant with a smiling face.
Yours is a dolphin leaping over the waves.
He seems a bit wild; I hope he behaves!
Let’s race to the rainbow, glistening with light.
We’ll count all the stripes - so fun and so bright!
Then leap onto colour, floating down with a flutter
To land in the prize - a pot of golden butter.
Mine’s an elephant with a smiling face.
Yours is a dolphin leaping over the waves.
He seems a bit wild; I hope he behaves!
Let’s race to the rainbow, glistening with light.
We’ll count all the stripes - so fun and so bright!
Then leap onto colour, floating down with a flutter
To land in the prize - a pot of golden butter.
