Finding a Present - a poem by Summer Holroyd

 

It was the week before Christmas,

what could I do?

A few days to go

and no present for you.

 

I searched high and low,

for a present just right.

I looked everywhere,

there was nothing in sight.

 

I finally found it.

I gave it a shout.

My arms had dropped off,

and my eyes had popped out.

 

I was looking so hard, 

I was dripping with sweat.

But there was the present, 

a new tiny pet.

 

I wrapped it with glee,

with a bow for effect.

A cute little hamster,

so small and perfect.

 

With his scratchy new claws,

and his tiny wet nose,

he'd get in position

and give me a pose.

 

My gift was for Nana,

to stop her watching telly.

She could bore him with stories,

whilst tickling his belly. 

 

Fantastic Summer, you are clearly a life long learner! Well done for choosing this as a home activity.
