Hello! Could this be helpful ?
When I was one ...
When I was one
It wasn�t much fun!
What did you do when you were two ?
When I was two
I learned to ski
What did you do when you were three ?
When I was three
It was a bore!
What did you do when you were four ?
When I was four
I learned to drive
What did you do when you were five ?
When I was five
I played with sticks
What did you do when you were six ?
When I was six
It was really Heaven!
What did you do when you were seven ?
When I was seven
I learned to skate
What did you do when you were eight ?
When I was eight
It was really great!
But when I was one
It wasn�t much fun!

Holly, my sister, and I fell out,
And what do you think it was all about?
She loved coffee, and I loved tea,
And that was the reason we couldn �t agree.
*******
They walked in the lane together,
The sky was covered with stars,
They reached the gate in silence,
he lifted down the bars.
She neither smiled nor thanked him
Because she knew not how;
For he was just a farmer �s boy
And she - the farmer �s cow.

This poem is probably not for very beginners, but it �s funny.
|

I saw a little elephant standing in my garden,
I said �You don �t belong in here �, he said �I beg you pardon? �,
I said �This place is England, what are you doing here? �,
He said �Ah, then I must be lost � and then �Oh dear, oh dear �.
�I should be back in Africa, on Saranghetti �s Plain �,
�Pray, where is the nearest station where I can catch a train? �.
He caught the bus to Finchley and then to Mincing lane,
And over the Embankment, where he got lost, again.
The police they put him in a cell, but it was far too small,
So they tied him to a lampost and he slept against the wall.
But as the policemen lay sleeping by the twinkling light of dawn,
The lampost and the wall were there, but the elephant was gone!
So if you see an elephant, in a Jumbo Jet,
You can be sure that Africa �s the place he �s trying to get!
