Nobby the Narwhal

Nobby the Narwhal, Lived in the sea, He had the longest there ever could be. Nobby's school was really quite small, He had to take all of his lessons sat alone in the hall. After school he would swim slowly home, And spend each evening all alone in his room. Every day he felt sadder than sad, But his friends were the best and they told him things were not so bad. The Head Teacher Mrs Dolphin who wore the nicest perfume, Moved the school all around to make a perfect school room. Nobby had his desk pushed to one side, The classroom was made so that it was extra wide. Nobby had to go into the classroom first, But sitting alone in the hall had been much worse. He sat with his tusk all along one side of the room, He was so happy the days went by so fast like a racing car with a very loud vroom. Nobby was good at numbers, spelling and reading, he loved looking at books, He read ever one he could find and would reead it right to the end no matter how long it took. Now Nobby is older he tells the younger children to do her best each day, And that if they are sad just keep on trying there is always a way.
