Oh Dear!

by Elias aged 7

A birthday version of Michael Rosen’s poem.

I went to the shop
to get me a cake.
Oh dear!
They gave me a snake.
Oh dear!
Look what I got?
Do I want that?
No I do not!

I went to the shop
to get me a game.
Oh dear!
They gave me a name.
Oh dear!
Look what I got!
Do I want that?
No I do not!

I went to the shop
to get me a gift.
Oh dear!
They gave me a lift.
Oh dear!
Look what I got!
Do I want that?
No I do not!

I went to the shop
to get me a party.
Oh dear!
They gave me a Smartie.
Oh dear!
Look what I got!
Do I want that?
No I do not!
