Off To See The Queen Poem by Pamela lutwyche

It was Kirstys birthday, so mum and dad took Kirsty, her brothers and her sisters to the zoo for a day. They had a great time, they saw all the animals; there were elephants, tigers, giraffes, bears, monkeys, and sea lions they went to see the crocodiles, snakes, spiders, they saw everything that could be seen.
They walked for miles around the zoo.
They all went for a meal just to finish the day off nice.

When they got home Kirstys brothers and sisters wanted to play at being wild animals, but Kirsty was getting very tired, she needed to go to sleep.
She said she would play one more game of being a tiger and then she was going to bed, never mind what her brothers and sisters said.
Kirsty was going to bed.

She told her brothers and sisters, she was off to see the queen.
”she lives in dream land my eyes are getting tired now and my legs will not stand.
I will put my head on my pillow because it’s all nice and soft. I will have a cuddle with my rabbit hot water bok.

When I arrive, I will say hello to her, I will smile and wave too.
She will ask me where I have been to day,
I will tell her I have been to the zoo.

I have seen the bears, giraffes, seals, the big lions roar, I have seen the monkeys and elephants and even the wild boar.

I have had a big hard day to day walking around the zoo.
I am glad I am going to see the queen, come on; do you want to come too? There is plenty of room in dream land enough for everyone.
So, come along let us all go and we can have some fun.
The best way to get there is just close your eyes and dream.

And before you know where you are, you will be standing by the queen.
