The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

The Feet on the Street

Gliding, sliding, soft light feet
Dancer whirling down the street

Tap-tap, steady rhythmic feet
Drummer marching down the street

Tiptoe, tiptoe, careful feet
Robber sneaking down the street

Wibbly, wobbly, wiggly feet
Clown trip-tripping down the street

CRASH BANG BOOM HEAVY FEET
GIANT STOMPING DOWN THE STREET

Jump, hop, leap, playful feet
Children bouncing down the street!
