My Dear Mr Fireman

Now my dear Mr Fireman
Let's be very clear
We neither one of us
Really wants to be here

Now I know it's my fault
That I cannot deny
But I can explain
If you please let me try

I thought I would fit
It was just such bad luck
I had no idea
I was going to get stuck

And please understand
That before you were phoned
I tried hard as I could
To get out on my own

I've been pushed, I've been pulled
I've been twisted around
I've been shook like a snow-globe
And tipped upside down

Buy try though I have
Not one of these things
Was enough to dislodge me
From the seat of this swing

I know it's for kids
And I know that its true
That climbing inside
Was a daft thing to do

But I couldn't resist it 
The challenge was there
I'm sure we've all done
Silly things for a dare

So please don't be angry
That's all I can say
I can promise I've already
Learned my lesson today

This was great, funny and what a picture...as well as smooth to read, a nice cadence and flow with rhymes that were so spot on, while reading I forgot they were there. Nicely done Danielle
