Jake the Wallaby

Jake the wallaby liked to hop Especially when it was to the shop With his Mum on Saturday To the Mall they hopped away The supermarket was a special place With lots to see in each aisle space There were tomatoes, cabbage and beans in displays But most of all he liked the fruit arrays They picked their veggies for three each day And Mum put them in her pouch straight away Jake picked shiny apples and oranges to eat When eating two a day was a treat So they paid for their fruit and veggies at the checkout Then to home they hopped out It had been a busy morning with lots of fun So to home bound their special song they sung Hopping is such fun In the summer sun Eat veggies three a day And two fruits yummy and hurray! © Paul Warren Poetry
