I think miceAre rather nice. Their tails are long, Their faces small, They haven’t any Chins at all. Their ears are pink, Their teeth are white, They run about The house at night. They nibble things They shouldn’t touch And no-one seems To like them much.But I think miceAre rather nice.

Daddy Fell into the Pond

Everyone grumbled. The sky was grey.We had nothing to do and nothing to say.We were nearing the end of a dismal day.And there seemed to be nothing beyond, Then Daddy fell into the pond!

And everyone’s face grew merry and bright,And Timothy danced for sheer delight.“Give me the camera, quick, oh quick!He’s crawling out of the duckweed!” Click!

Then the gardener suddenly slapped his knee,And doubled up, shaking silently,And the ducks all quacked as if they were daft,And it sounded as if the old drake laughed.Oh there wasn’t a thing that didn’t respond When Daddy fell into the pond!

All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tideIs a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,And the flung spray and the brown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the winds like a whetted knifeAll I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to seaIn a beautiful pea-green boat:They took some honey, and plenty of moneyWrapped up in a five pound note.The Owl looked up to the stars above,And sang to a small guitar,‘Oh lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,What a beautiful Pussy you are,You are, You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!’

Pussy said to the Owl, ‘You elegant fowl,How charmingly sweet you sing!Oh! Let us be married; too long we have tarriedBut what shall we do for a ring?’They sailed away, for a year and a day,To the land where the bong-tree grows;And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood,With a ring at the end of his nose,His nose,His nose, With a ring at the end of his nose.

‘Dear Pig, are you willing, to sell for one shillingYour ring?’ said the Piggy, ‘I will.’So they took it away, and were married next dayBy the turkey who lives on the hill.They dined on mince and slices of quinceWhich they ate with a runcible spoon.And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,They danced by the light of the moon,The moon,The moon,They danced by the light of the moon.

A man goes riding by. Late in the night when the fires are out,Why does he gallop and gallop about?

Whenever the trees are crying aloud,And ships are tossed at sea,By on the highway, low and loud,By at the gallop goes he.By at the gallop he goes, and thenBy he comes back at the gallop again.

The Tyger!

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire? And what shoulder, and what art. Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? And what dread feet? What the hammer? What the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? What dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp? When the stars threw down their spears, And watered heaven with their tears, Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? Tyger!

And when he sees you on the sand,He doesn’t seem to want to land.

He watches you take off your clothes,And not the least excitement shows.

His eyes do not grow bright or roll,He has astounding self-control.

He waits till you are quite undressed,And seems to take no interest.

And when towards the sea you leap,He looks as if he were asleep.

But when you once get in his range,His whole demeanour seems to change.

He throws his body right aboutAnd his true character comes out.

It’s no use crying or appealing,He seems to lose all decent feeling.

After his warning you will wishTo keep clear of this treacherous fish.

His back is black, his stomach white,He has a very dangerous bite.

Lone Dog

I’m a lean dog, a keen dog, a wild dog and lone,I’m a rough dog, a tough dog, hunting on my own!I’m a bad dog, a mad dog, teasing silly sheep;I love to sit and bay the moon and keep fat souls from sleep.

I’ll never be a lap dog, licking dirty feet,A sleek dog, a meek dog, cringing for my meat.Not for me the fireside, the well-filled plate,But shut door and sharp stone and cuff and kick and hate.

Not for me the other dogs, running by my side,Some have run a short while, but none of them would bide.O mine is still the lone trail, the hard trail, the best,Wide wind and wild stars and the hunger of the quest.

Some One

Some one came knocking At my wee, small door;Some one came knocking, I’m sure – sure – sure;I listened, I opened, I looked to left and right,But nought there was a-stirring In the still dark night;Only the busy beetle Tap-tapping in the wall,Only from the forest The screech-owl’s call,Only the cricket whistling While the dewdrops fall,So I know not who came knocking, At all, at all, at all.

And does it not seem hard to you,When all the sky is clear and blue,And I should like so much to play,To have to go to bed by day?

Then the traveller in the dark,Thanks you for your tiny spark,He could not see which way to go,If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,And often through my curtains peep,For you never shut your eye,Till the sun is in the sky.

The Way through the Woods

They shut the road through the woodsSeventy years ago.Weather and rain have undone it again,And now you would never knowThere was once a road through the woodsBefore they planted the trees.It is underneath the coppice and heath,And the thin anemones.Only the keeper seesThat, where the ring-dove broods,And the badgers roll at ease,There was once a road through the woods.Yet, if you enter the woodsOf a summer evening late,When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed poolsWhere the otter whistles his mate(They fear not men in the woods,Because they see so few),You will hear the beat of a horse’s feet,And the swish of a skirt in the dew,Steadily cantering throughThe misty solitudes,As though they perfectly knewThe old lost road through the woods . . .But there is no road through the woods!

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!Beware the Jubjub bird, and shunThe frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:Long time the manxome foe he sought —So rested he by the Tumtum tree,And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and throughThe vorpal blade went snicker-snack!He left it dead, and with its headHe went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?Come to my arms, my beamish boy!O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"He chortled in his joy.

The Day I Got My Finger Stuck up my Nose

When I got my finger stuck up my noseI went to a doctor, who said,‘Nothing like this has happened before,We will have to chop off your head.’

‘It’s only my finger stuck up my nose,It’s only my finger,’ I said.‘I can see what it is,’ the doctor replied,‘But we’ll have to chop off your head.’

He went to the cabinet. He took out an axe.I watched with considerable dread.‘But it’s only my finger stuck up my nose.It’s only a finger,’ I said.

‘Perhaps we can yank it out with a hookTied to some surgical thread.‘Maybe we can try that,’ he replied,‘Rather than chop off your head.’

‘I’m never going to pick it again.I’ve now learned my lesson,’ I said.‘I won’t stick my finger up my nose –I’ll stick it in my ear instead.’

“Yes you may” and “Yes of course” and “Yes please help yourself”.And when I want a piece of cake,“Why yes it's on the shelf.Some candy? “Yes”.A cookie? “Yes”.A movie? “Yes we'll go”.In school sometimes I win awards,Yes, yes, yes, WOO HOOW!!I love that word (that word yes)But only for good reasons,Like cuddling a teddy bear,Or having mummy's care,All round the changing seasons.I just can't help it,It's really only the best,So you can come and join me,It'll be our favourite word…..YES!

The Collector

Not for me woolly dollsor football cardspop star postersmodel cars –No, I’m into collecting adjectives . . . Big, fat, juicy, yummy, scrummy, rich and famous lean and keen kind of words.

I store them up for special occasions in – massive, marvellous, mysterious, magnificent adjectival boxes with secret seals and silver keys.

But, at the first stroke of the new millenniummy brother’s bedside collection of !!!! marksexploded with excitementtaking with themthe roof of our houseandmy superb adjective collection.

Request

If you should ever find an adjective it is probably mine,You know the sort of word I mean lonely (cloud) misty (lace) sprightly (dance) pretty (place)So if you ever see oneI’m sure it will be mineunless it isn’t spelt right - or doesn’t seem to rhyme.

Poems about the seaHow Deep is the OceanImagine a mountain upside down,Picture it under the waves,Now hollow it out and imagine the climb,As you dive in its lofty caves.

by Celia Warren

The Nature of the OceanThe sea holds all the answers,It understands the moon,It smooths and cools the pebble,It feeds the gentle dune.The salty sea is healing,Too wise and deep to chart,The sea will tide us overAs we mend a broken heart,For, with lyric and with music,The sea is Living Art.

by Celia Warren

Why Are My Tears so Salty? Why are my tears so salty?   You must have swallowed the sea.

Why are my legs so heavy?   To stop you floating free.

Why do I feel as empty   as a shell that’s prised apart?

Because, when you left the sandy shore, you left a bit of your heart.

maggie and milly and molly and maywent down to the beach (to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sangso sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles, and

milly befriended a stranded starwhose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thingwhich raced sideways while blowing bubbles: and

may came home with a smooth round stoneas small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)it’s always ourselves we find in the sea.

by e. e. cummings

At the Seaside

When I was down beside the seaA wooden spade they gave to me To dig the sandy shore.

My holes were empty like a cup.In every hole the sea came up Till it could come no more.
