Fruit            
I wish I were a piece of fruit
all colourful and bright.
in a bowl or on a tree
it would be fun all right.
A red, red apple I would be,                                           
or else a red, red cherry,
an orange or a passionfruit,
banana or a berry.


 A game for you

In Australia, where I live, biscuits are what Americans call 'cookies'.
As we like to shorten many words, we call them 'bickies'.
Perhaps my very favourite bickies are ....

Chocolate sticks!

Chocolate sticks!
Chocolate sticks!
I love my chocolate biscuit sticks.
Nice and tasty
all for me
I eat them all
GO! ONE! TWO! THREE!
Crisp and yummy
Chocolate sticks
I gobble them quickly
FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
They go so fast
They taste so fine
I bite them, chew them
SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE!

I eat them now, I ate them then
I eat far more than nine or ten.
I’m just a little kid of six
But I can eat those chocolate sticks
As if my age were ninety-one
I’ll eat those bickies by the ton!
Chocolate sticks!
Chocolate sticks!
I love my chocolate biscuit sticks!
