The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Proverbial

Don’t cut off your face to spite your nose.
Don’t judge a cover by its book.
Put your mouth where your money is,
and leap before you look.
A spot cannot change its leopard.
The early worm gets the bird.
If you can’t join them, beat them.
Children should be seen and heard.
Yay!

About the Writer


Graham Seal

Once upon a time Graham Seal won the high school poetry prize – probably because he had more poems in the school magazine than anyone else. Since then he’s continued writing books, articles, songs and poems, many published, many yet to be.
