Bedtime Story - Home and Away Day Post 451b revision of comic poem 451 by Angela Lansbury

 Life's more fun when you're big, and three

Climb stairs, stand on chairs, feel at home

Open the top fridge on your own

You can reach strawberries for tea!


She likes to eat a blueberry

For breakfast, lunch, dinner and tea

She eats a stoned olive, takes two

Frowns, thinks of handing one to you


Her little shoes are on the floor

A pair beside the big front door

We ask her, 'Dear, whose are these shoes?

These pretty shoes, reds, pinks and blues?'


She picks up a shoe, she smiles and says

'This shoe is mine!' That shoe is mine!'

She opens the door. Weather's fine

Ready!. Let's go . Have a good time

 

Her favourite outing's a nearby park

She loves swings, ropes and the long slide

We leave to get home before it's dark

Then she sleeps on a short car ride (possible ending at bedtime!)


Little Ava has lots of friends

With birthday parties most weekends

But when she has a day that's free

She goes out with her family


She likes to eat with family

Sit on sofas to watch TV

Twice small Ava rode on a boat

Her life jacket can float, on sea

 Little Ava has lots of friends

With birthday parties most weekends

But when she has a day that's free

She's out, or in, with family.
