Mr Grumpy's Rainbow: Contest
I looked out of the window what did I see
A beautiful rainbow shining there for me
Remembering the story mam read last night
Will have to go outside, sure it will be alright
If I borrow the brolly with red spots on show
My sister is asleep, she will never know.
I crept out of the door hoping it didn’t creak,
toddled to the garden bench, where I play hide and seek.
Scrambled upon the seat was no easy feat,
with my short legs and tiny feet.
Umbrella over my head I jiggled with glee
to see the rainbow in front of me.
Mam read that Mr Grumpy would send the rain
I hope he cheers up so sun shines again.
Am wondering, if I called his name, he just might
Let Mr Sunshine put things right
Can’t believe my eyes, so surprised to see
all the care bears waving to me.
The little umbrella didn’t keep me so dry,
I am soaking wet but I won’t cry.
At bedtime now, will listen with glee,
next time mam reads to me.
Mam’s stories are really true
Hope you enjoyed this one too
