Grandads Knee

Grandads Knee

My granddaddy always said to me 

You wait until your thirty three 

You'll have some little'uns of your own

Your little princess or prince will sit upon this throne, 

This throne that's reserved just for you

Till childhood fairyland bids adieu.                                                      

So upon his knee I'd clumsily scramble,

Listening to his stories and rambles, 

His stories were off  far of lands, 

Of fairy queens, her kingdom and commands, 

The only wish he had for me 

Was I be as happy as happy as I could be.

On his throne that was his knee,

My childhood was like a fantasy, 

No seat ever has replaced that spot

That I'd climb upon as a tiny, tiny, tot 

Perhaps if grandaddies knees  were the law 

I'd still see my fantasy lands of wonder and awe 

Nonsense A Go Go 

In the middle of the Congo,

Lives a very hairy mango 

Who strums upon a human banjo. 

While the ultra slim thin rhinos 

Dance a street dance fandango, 

Circled by short legged flamingos

Screaming house, playing bingo!

Waiting for the mummified Pharaoh

To tiptoe through for a tango,

All partying together in their tropical a go go !

A Fairy Is Born

A Fairy Is Born 

Blow the bubbles, 

And look carefully 

Can you see 

The delicate wing of a little fairy ?

For every time a bubble is created 

The mummy fairies giggle,all excited 

Cos they have waited and waited, 

For the magical soapy bubbles to be sighted !

Look at the bubbles can't you see 

The birthing of a tiny fairy 

      The rainbow colours dancing in the light 

Are the tiny wings of a little sprite!

So blowing bubbles isn't just for fun 

It's the start of a fairies life 

 That's only just begun 

So blow your bubbles and you will see 

The tiny delicate wings, 

Of a brand new fairy!

Together

Together 

An Elephant looked out upon a darkened sky
He closed his eyes and muttered my, oh my !
Shaking and quaking in his boots,
His trunk couldn't help making  involuntary toots.

A friendly little likeable pooch
Was taking a leisurely lonely mooch,
When suddenly he jumped high,oh so high!
As he heard the elephants deafening tooting cry.

The little pooch headed towards the hullabaloo,
 He met the humongous Elephant,
And thought what to do, what to do?
He wasn't frightened or wasn't scared.

He guided the elephant and showed he cared,
Strengths are different within us big and small
But working together make even the smallest of us tall.

The Jungle Beat

The Jungle Beat 

Marvin The Monkey had  wander lust, 

To forsake his home, 

Find his Love for music was a must. 

He packed for a safari, 

Taking his secret weapons, 

His musical bananas Cheeky and Charlie. 

They trudged miles to the beach, 

To recreate the sound, 

Of the jungle beat.  

Cheeky and Charlie their guitars, they did strum, 

Marvin used coconuts. 

To play Like a drum.

The sounds they made were so cool, 

Soon they were begged,

To open a rock school.

So Marvin ,Cheeky and Charlie, 

Worked hard at what they loved, 

And lived their lives happily !

Not A Purple People Eater

Not a Purple People Eater 

I'm not a purple people eater, 

My diet is much ,much cheaper, 

I'm a creature that lurks in your mind,

Just colour the purple within the lines, 

Take chalk, crayons or what ever you wish. 

All thoughts of horrid monsters will be banished, 

You can hang me on your wall,

Where I'll protect you from all things creepy, 

Until your eyes gently close,

 Then you'll feel safe

 and 

Very 

Very

 Sleepy !

To make a smile

of to play 

for the rest of the day 

just say cheese please 

all mummies and daddies 

will make this plea 

Just say Cheese...... pleaseeeeee !!!!

A Fairy Tale

A Fairy Tale 

Margaret Bednar

Marshmallow clouds in a vanilla sky 

Surround a sugar castle

The colour of cherry pie 

At it's door there stands proud, 

Unicorns who have vowed 

To protect the fairies

Who come to play 

With the buzzing bees

That dance and buzz all day. 

Within the pink sugar castle. 

A princess excitedly awaits 

Her prince charming 

To arrive for their dinner date 

Where  penguins on skates 

Serve their meal off ice crystal plates

The skinny little crickets will play their wings 

Making summer music 

While love birds chirp along and sing.

Prince charming will kneel 

Take his Princess by her delicate hand, 

He'll ask her then to be Queen in this wonderful fairy land 

The buzzing bees and fairies will dance 

While those magical unicorns will daintily prance 

In the garden of their sugar candy castle 

Found in the fluffy marshmallow clouds

Where only very, very, happy fairy tales are allowed !

Dreamy Dragons

Dreamy Dragons 

Natasha Head 

                                       The last two baby dragons 

That roamed the earth, 

Only blew fire of lava for mirth, 

Without big grown up dragons there to help 

They feasted upon only fruits, candy and kelp, 

Every day they frolicked around and jousted, 

Their wickedness diluted, slowly ousted, 

 The red,hot raging, fire that they breathed, 

Diminished daily as they teethed

Their skin that was very, very, dry and glum 

Turned bright, beautiful, rainbow colours that were fun 

So the fire breathing beasties of the past, 

Those bad ones were never ever going to last. 

Now all the dragons in our minds, 

Are now beautiful,colourful and kind!  

Breathing only stardust and moon beams

Popping up only in our fairy tales and favourite dreams! 

Pippa The Posing Penguin

Pippa The Posing Penguin 

Jinksy

Pippa the penguin dreamt every night
Of little sprites that weren't black or white
They usually danced and pranced
In and around her bed
Sprinkling  stardust occasionally upon her head
Then one very, very, snowy, snowy night
Pippas dream seem different real, somehow bright!
The little sprites who weren't black and white,
Sprinkled the stardust up and down and all around,
      They got all together and made Pippa laugh like a clown,
They tickled her toes,
her tail ,flippers
and then her nose
The stardust stuck and created a sensation
Pippa was a star in her snowy,snowy nation
 In her two tone world of black and white
Pippa was front page news overnight !

Cool Mountain Cats

Cool Mountain Cats 

Figures available at Woolpets 

Conrad a crazy cool cat,
Thought he was so cool,
He'd race down a mountain,
Without going splat.

Chemmy the sno bunny
Offered him advice,
She told him to turn,
  Watch out for ice!

Conrad who always  knew better
Skied downhill straight
Down, down
He flew till it was too late!

Conrad the crazy cool cat,
Had not listen 
The mountain was icy and steep 
He landed at the bottom in a heap
A sore and meowing splat 
Conrad the embarrassed silly cat 


Chemmy the sno bunny, 
Snow plowed and turned,
Skied down and returned,
Again and again, 
She felt such a thrill
Conquering the hill! 


 So who was the coolest cat on the mountain 
That day ?

Why ?

 WHY ?

Mummy why can't I plant my tree 

Where my Prince Charming 

Will Marry me 

WHY ?

Mummy why can't I Plant my tree

Where all the magic fairies dance

To the buzzing of the  honey bees 

WHY?

Mummy why can't I plant my tree

In a land of green 

Where everyone is free                                

WHY ?                                                                                                            

Mummy why can't I plant my tree

Where purple dragons roam and snore 

They'd be so gentle no-one would flee 

WHY ?

Mummy I want to plant my tree

With Daddys spade 

In my red welly boots 

 Just you and me!
