Colours

Grass is green
The sun is red
But I don’t know
The colour of thread

Thread might be green
Thread might be red
But I don’t know
What colour is the bed


The bed might be blue
And it might be red
But I don’t know
What colour is Ned

Ned is red
And green and yellow
And he is
The colour of a swallow

Detective rat

They call him detective rat
He’s brown and cuddly small and snuggly
Wearing his brown
Jacket and hat.

Detective rat tripped on a mat
Went for a ride
And shivered in side
The mat led him into a rat.

He ran away as fast as a horse
And couldn’t stop
And by five minutes
He had stopped and told his friend borse.

With nuts in her pockets
And everyone said

RUGBY

Rugby is a type of sport
the crowd is always doubhting
if the rugby players ae going to win
but if they score the crowd starts shouting

When the rugby guys
run with the ball
all the rugby players
start to run and start to call


When there running and the ball
stupiply slips out then the whistle blows
and the crowds
shouting starts to go low

And very badly stank.

Watching mummy on the phone.

Breathing out fire
While it’s flying

Eating lizards one by one
Lying in its cave
Getting warm by the sun.

Swishing his tail,

Is a magnificent muddle
His eyes are on his tummy
And really likes to cuddle

Have much money because he
Doesn’t have a job

They had a big fight
And that was the end.
