TEA TIME
(Selected) It's four o'clock, and time for tea, And piggy’s hungry as can be. He goes to Mrs Squirrel’s shop And orders tarts and ginger pop, And cakes with icing on the top. A dozen sausage rolls as well. He eats before I’ve time to tell. A huge mince pie he gobbles down And twenty buns as brown as brown. When only empty plates were there. He simply couldn’t leave his chair. It’s plain that Piggy’s much too ill To settle Mrs Squirrel’s bill. —Sent in by Coral Harper, Havelock.
