I have our children staying with me tonight. Our daughter was reading a book to herself in bed, which is about four feet away from me in the lounge! It's cool. She was reading a book to herself and out of nowhere she said "can I read you a poem?". Who's going to turn down such an offer from a six year old. She read me a poem by Spike Milligan called AB. It goes....
A Bee!
A Bee!!
Is after me!!!
And that is why
I flee!!!!
I flee!!!!!
This bee
This bee
Appears to be
Very very
ANG
-ER
-REE!!!!!
This led on to a chat about Spike Milligan. How he was a funny man who had a strange brain that led him into some strange and fantastic places. I could see she was into it. A strange little creature prone to pulling the most bizarre faces and talking to you while crossing her eyes before cracking up. She's very Spike Milligan already.
