 THE CIRCUS

 

 

 

I'm off to join the circus

the marquee is in town

come bring along your kids n playmates

love to have you round

 

The ponies prancing in the ring

the trapeze artistes all

there's clowns and magicians here

were ginna have a ball

 

The ringmasters a friend of mine

the bearded lady too

the fortune telling rose Marie

the chimps and hoops and hats

there's lots of jazzy music here

the band begins to play

the big parade is in the town tonight

hip hip hip hooray

 

The posters on the windows

the billboards tell the tale

the midgets n the strong man

the show is on the heath

bring along your mum and Gran

don't forget your teeth

 

The children laugh and chase the clowns

the joker is in tow

there's tickets for sale along the way

so don't forget to go

just turn up for the show.

 

       

 

STORY BOOK TALES

 

  

 

Fairy tales of story books

verse of pure delight

childhoods romantic fantasy's

days of golden light

 

Rainbows in the sky above

wishing wells and fun

children out exploring life

stories on the run

 

Days and nights in dreamland

castles and a moat

pirates of the seven seas

galleons all afloat

 

Knights in shining Armour

dragons being slain

story's told to children

every now and then

 

Rabbits talking logic

wonderland and more

Enid blyton picture books

treasure washed up on the shore

 

Cowboys chasing Indians

horses and unicorns flying through the sky

rockets to the moon

great big ships that fly

 

Carousel dreams and roundabouts

stories of the sea

travels of the author

told to you and me.
