What could be more beautiful Than sunlight on the shore And a little boat out rowing And just paddling with one ore. What could make you happier Than the sound of passing geese And seeing golden plane trails Drawing lines […]
‘Mummy can you help me I need you to come now For Bozo has gone missing And I’m going to tell you how’ ‘His friends were in the toy box When one of them awoke To find the snake’s long […]
