Why?

When once I was a child,

I had a lot of toys!

I had a lot of toys!

I said a lot of nonsense

And made a lot of noise.

I went when parents took me

And saw there quite a lot!

I ate what parents gave me

Why did I grow, my God?

A Poem

I’ve now done my homework

And outside I go.

I want to go for a walk

With friends whom I well know.

I went then outside and saw

There many people were playing

And running quickly to and fro.

Some other near staying.

We played a lot of funny games,

Played hide-and-seek, were merry.

I do, I know all the lanes,

Each got an empty belly.
