Rose Lily Poem by Anita Wisniewska

Rose Lily was a very nice girl

A very nice girl indeed

But she was always wanting

Things she didn't really need.


She saw the moon up in the sky

Stretched out her arms, began to cry

I've simply got to have it

Or I will surely die!



She spied the dog, eating his dinner

'He's too fat, ' she said, 'He should be thinner! '

And though she knew that it was rude

She gobbled all the poor dog's food.



'Don't touch the cooker', Mummy told her

'You'll have to wait until you're older.'

But Lily turned the gas up higher

And soon the kitchen was on fire!


Then one day, Lil went much too far

She thought she'd drive her daddy's car

Had the most gigantic smash!

And Daddy paid a lot of cash.


Now poor Lily sits in jail

From far and near we hear her wail

'Please let me out! Just open the door!

And I'll never do such silly things any more! '
