MY FAVOURITE WHATNOTS
(Dactylic Metre)
Also a 'shadow' poem of
My Favourite Things
So why not sing this poem?
By Josie Whitehead
Bright coloured packages tied up with ribbons;
Monkeys and lemurs and sweet baby gibbons;
Presents and birthday cake, gooey and creamy;
Pretty pink dresses that make me feel dreamy!
Blue sky above me and bright purple heather;
Picnics with friends when we have sunny weather.
Days I enjoyed with my father and mother;
Learning to share when along came a brother.
Coffee and croissant with friends in the morning;
Putting on weight? Well I should heed the warning!
Grandchildren call me to join in their playing,
So there's no more to say and no point in staying!
Goodbye . . . .
