Children’s Verses
MY DOLLS’ HOUSE I’m really very busy A-turning out the rooms; I’ve got my apron ready. My dusters and my brooms. My dolls are in the garden. Asleep in their new cot. Just near the big laburnum— It is a lovely spot. I’ll first turn out the parlour, And then the kitchenette; The bedroom and the bathroom, And stairs, I’ll not forget. Then when I’ve finished cleaning I hope you’ll come to see My dolls’ house bright with polls Inside my nursery. —G. Roberts. PERCIVAL PORKER Porker has lost his coat \nd goes about all bare. There's wool on a sheep and hair on goat. But Percival's tail is a question note still asking Why? and Where? —Wilfrid Thorley.
