Ava Indoors, Outdoors Birthday Party comic poem number 452 by Angela Lansbury

 

Ava who's' three, has lots of friends

With birthday parties at weekends, 

When it's sunny and she's free

She goes for walks with her family.


When it's sunny and she's free

She goes for walks with her family.

When it's midweek she likes to cook

And when she'd done we read a book.


When it's midweek she likes to cook

And when she's done we read a book.

Ava's three, has lots of friends

With birthday parties at weekends


Ava, who's three, has lots of friends

With birthday parties at weekends

She wraps a present she can take

Thinks fish and chips, fruit, birthday cake


She wraps a present she can take

Thinks fish and chips, fruit, birthday cake

I'm happy cos we'll be there soon

Jugs of red drink, and pink balloons

Ava, who's three, has lots of friends

With birthday parties at weekends

But if there's one day when it rains

She always smiles, never complains


Yes, if there's one day when it rains

She always smiles,, never complains

When it's midweek she likes to cook

And when she's done we read this book.

Name Changes

For the customer, recipient of the book, or babysitter, the name can be changed to that of the child being  read to or receiving the book and reading it to a younger brother or sister.

For example

One Syllable Names

For one syllable names (such as Ann, James, John, change to Ann who is three.

Two Syllable Names

For two syllables, like Ava, Anna, Emma, Henry, Lucas, Mia, Noah, Peter, change to Ava's three, Anna's three, Peter's Three. Other two syllable names include, Ali, Mary, Christos, Richard, Johnny, Paris,, Rina, Tina, Sharon,  

Three Syllable names 

Three Syllable include, according to the list of top names in the USA in 2003, include (my alphabetical order, not popularity which was the order published),Elijah, Mateo, Oliver, Theodore, William, Evelyn, Sophia.

Four Syllables -

Four syllable names are mostly girls' names which add an a on the end, which include Amelia, Isabella, Olivia,  

Age Changes

The age can be changed to one, two, three, four, five, six, eight, nine, ten (or a word in another language in a bilingual home, such as French, un deux, trois, German ein, zwei, drei, Spanish dos, tres.

This is the first time I have tried my new rhyming scheme, repeating the last couplet of each verse as the opening of the next verse.

I shall do another version tomorrow, using the words biking and hiking.

For a family or child or culture without birthday parties, change the words to with the family or sees the family at weekends.

I though of changing and thinks there might be birthday cake, to 

'Thinks, sandwiches, fruit, birthday cake,' which sounds healthier, but m original version is easier for a 3 year old to say and understand.

Ava's Weekend Boat Fun comic poem number 451 by Angela Lansbury

Life is fun when you're big, and three

You can reach strawberries for tea


Open the top fridge on your own

You climb on chairs and feel at home


 Little Ava has lots of friends

With birthday parties at weekends

But when she has a day that's free

She goes out with her family


Sometimes it's to a nearby park

So they get home before it's dark

She loves swings, ropes and the long slide

Then she sleeps on a short car ride


She likes to eat a blueberry

For breakfast, lunch, dinner or tea

She likes to eat an olive, too

And thinks of handing one to you


She likes to eat with family

Sit on sofas to watch TV

Twice small Ava rode on a boat

In a life jacket, on the sea

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 frowns and says

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

She opens the door. Weather's fine

She's ready to have a good time


 Little Ava has lots of friends

With birthday parties at weekends

But when she has a day that's free

She goes out with her family.

-ends-

To get the right number of syllables, eight per line, I changed going out to go out.
