Aburr-r-rido

By Katie Jyemfa Nyarko, age 7, South Africa

Look outside, not a sound, no children running round,

Dogs sleep, minds not deep,

People in the sun, no one’s having fun,

It’s the kind of day that leads to trouble,

Or maybe I should say double trouble.

Boys kick their balls to our neighbour’s glass,

Oh no, get a mask!

It wasn’t us, it was Gus,

Mommy comes and makes a fuss,

Back inside, our games are tied,

Nothing to do, nowhere to go,

Just stay at home…

TODAY’S BEEN ABURR-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-RIDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
