JOSIE'S POEMS

Children's Funny Poems
 
By Josie Whitehead

FIRST FOOT
ON THE HOUSING LADDER


By Josie Whitehead

Dear John,

 

There's a super property for sale -

      I thought you'd like to know - 

But there's no glass in the windows

     So you'll feel the north wind blow!

​

The bucket standing by the door 

      Could meet your urgent needs,

And the content of your bucket will

      Help to improve your weeds.

​

There isn't running water there

      But a stream runs closely by

And as it doesn't have a roof

       You'd gaze up at the sky.

​

One thing I'd like to mention, though -

       I know you'll want to know -

There's not much going on nearby 

       But watch the daisies grow.

​

You'll not be short of company -

      Some sheep are grazing near.

You'll not have some electricity

      But I've always said it's dear!

​

I thought I'd write to you before

       The others learn of this, 

And I send you all my warmest love -

​

       Best wishes - - - Aunty Chris. xxxxxx
