Some silly thing...



Watching the dog scratch behind his ear, I shouted stop it now, will you dear.

There goes a bag filled with food,the chef takes off his apron saying I'm not in the mood.

The radio next door playing an unusual song,here comes a man with earphones on singing along.

The airplane took off high in the sky,
The driver across the street said if only the bus could fly.

A great big castle upon the hilltop,
The prince on a bicycle,shouting help me, I can't stop!  

Some elderly men playing at the beach in the sand,Jumping and skipping, doing cartwheels with one hand.

A river nearby for the animals to drink, a camel says stop, this is too much I can't think.

Feeling an itch I scratched my hair, looked round to see who had shouted, now that's not fair!
