Next Door Neighbours
Listen to Leanne read her poem ...
Last year, a giant lizard moved next door;
a stocky, blocky, mellow quadruped.
He’d give you all his leaves, and plenty more,
ensuring everyone is nicely fed.
A stocky, blocky, mellow quadruped –
he accidentally ate our Labrador!
Ensuring everyone is nicely fed?
It’s different though, when you’re a dinosaur.
He “accidentally” ate our Labrador…
He’d give you all his leaves, and plenty more!
It’s different though, when you’re a dinosaur.
Last year, a giant lizard moved next door.
a stocky, blocky, mellow quadruped.
He’d give you all his leaves, and plenty more,
ensuring everyone is nicely fed.
A stocky, blocky, mellow quadruped –
he accidentally ate our Labrador!
Ensuring everyone is nicely fed?
It’s different though, when you’re a dinosaur.
He “accidentally” ate our Labrador…
He’d give you all his leaves, and plenty more!
It’s different though, when you’re a dinosaur.
Last year, a giant lizard moved next door.
