WHAT'S IN MY LUNCHBOX
02:16
|

|
I’ve eaten all my apple and I’ve drunk up all my drink. I’ve had some yummy biscuits (they were chocolate chip, I think) But now I’m still so hungry I want something else to eat. What’s mum put in my lunchbox – is it yucky or a treat? Is it ham or gooseberry jam or caterpillars stuffed with spam? Is it whale or roasted quail or eggplant topped with pickled snail? Is it firm or is it runny? Is it dandruff mixed with honey? It is cheese or mushy peas or meatloaf filled with angry bees? The suspense builds to a fever pitch I look inside and then, I realise to my horror that it’s... ...vegemite again.

DUCK DUCK FROG

There was a frog.
There was a raft.
There was duck.
There was a bath.
“Frog on a raft”, Duck laughed
Raft bumped, Frog jumped.
Duck, duck, frog. Duck, frog.
Frog is wet And quite upset.
Raft is sinking - Duck starts thinking.
Duck, duck, frog. Duck, frog.
“Jump aboard
Jump aboard!”
“I can float
I’ll be your boat”
Duck, duck, frog. Duck, frog.
Bath friends
Story ends
Duck, duck, frog, duck, frog.

TRIANTIWONTIGONGOLOPE
03:12
|
|||
|
There's a very funny insect that you do not often spy, And it isn't quite a spider, and it isn't quite a fly; It is something like a beetle, and a little like a bee, But nothing like a wooly grub that climbs upon a tree. Its name is quite a hard one, but you'll learn it soon, I hope. So try: Tri- Tri-anti-wonti- Triantiwontigongolope.
It lives on weeds and wattle-gum, and has a funny face; Its appetite is hearty, and its manners a disgrace. When first you come upon it, it will give you quite a scare, But when you look for it again, you find it isn't there. And unless you call it softly it will stay away and mope. So try: Tri- Tri-anti-wonti- Triantiwontigongolope.
It trembles if you tickle it or tread upon its toes; It is not an early riser, but it has a snubbish nose. If you snear at it, or scold it, it will scuttle off in shame, But it purrs and purrs quite proudly if you call it by its name, And offer it some sandwiches of sealing-wax and soap. So try: Tri- Tri-anti-wonti- Triantiwontigongolope .
But of course you haven't seen it; and I truthfully confess That I haven't seen it either, and I don't know its address. For there isn't such an insect, though there really might have been If the trees and grass were purple, and the sky was bottle green. It's just a little joke of mine, which you'll forgive, I hope. Oh, try! Tri- Tri-anti-wonti- Triantiwontigongolope.

There’s a hairy-nosed wombat
that sleeps on the stairs.
He’s hard to jump over
but nobody cares.
There’s a possum that plays
in the kitchen at night.
Last Christmas she gave Nan
a terrible fright.
I know it sounds crazy -
too good to be true,
but that’s what you get
when you live in a zoo.
We have to look under
a huge crocodile,
to find matching socks
in the clean washing pile.
There’s a numbat who lurks
near the old pantry door.
We never get ants
in the jam anymore!
I know it sounds crazy -
too good to be true,
but that’s what you get
when you live in a zoo.
There’s a kangaroo hogging
the comfiest chair.
Nobody’s told him
Dad always sits there.
There’s always an emu
just poking around.
He picks up our toys
if they’re left on the ground.

CHLOE'S FRIGHT
03:53
|
|||
|
Chloe was scared of the dark and the night And the strange things you see when you turn off the light. The monsters, the creatures, the shadows that creep kept Chloe awake when she wanted to sleep.
One night her Mummy, (who didn’t get frights) Explained that the night-time was really alright And the monsters and creatures would all disappear If she went straight to sleep, and let good dreams appear!
So Chloe lay down for the first time that night And promised herself she would not get a fright.
She climbed under the covers and put down her head And then she saw something on the end of the bed! It looked like a monster with sharp, shiny teeth And a horrible nose, with hair underneath.
“Mummy!” she cried “come and turn on the light! There’s a monster in here, I was right! I was right!” So Mummy rushed in, in a flash she was there “You big silly duffer, it’s your own teddy-bear!”
So Chloe lay down for the second time that night And promised herself she would not get a fright.
She was just getting sleepy, her eyes nearly closed When a crocodile jumped up and snapped at her nose! He was slippery and slimy and really quite tall And his tail made him nearly as long as the wall!
“Mummy!”, she cried “come and turn on the light! There’s a crocodile here and he’s going to bite!” So Mummy rushed in, (she knew what it would be) “It’s a big funny shadow from the Jacaranda tree!”
So Chloe lay down for the third time that night And promised herself she would NOT get a fright.
She lay down on her pillow, all covered with sheep And she tried and she tried, but could not go to sleep. She kept hearing noises and seeing bad things Like flying platypuses with horns on their wings!
But this time she thought “I will NOT get a fright” And she got out of bed and she turned on the light. She laughed when she saw what had made her afraid - A big stripey moth on her yellow lampshade!
So Chloe lay down for the last time that night And never again did she call out in fright.
