My Poem (aged 8 1/2)

At the weekend I was in the mood to sort through some of my mother's papers. She must have liked this poem that I wrote when I was at primary school as she kept it all these years.

I find it rather disturbing! (I'm only guessing about my age)

By The Sea


I was walking along the shore
It was really rather a bore
The I came across a cave
Marked on the walls was the devil's grave





I went in and saw
Mermaids dancing in fours
Then there was a big loud roar
And the mermaids fled from the shore








 

 
I ran and I ran
And behind me the devil sang
If I catch you alive
You'll die in a hive




Then up I awoke
And thought it a joke
And now I'm no more
On the sea shore

Be more dog

I'm always grateful that we have our dogs. We had never been dog owners up until our move but it had been something that we both wanted ...
