Tiny Am I

by Harley Kiely aged 10

My name is Harley Kiely,
I am fairly tiny,
I went on a trip in the rain,
and then I fell down a drain!
Tiny am I, Tiny am I
Oh, I do like blueberry pie!

The light got fewer and fewer,
as I fell down the sewer,
it was so dark,
all I could see were bright red marks,
Tiny am I, Tiny am I,
Oh, I do like blueberry pie!

I could hear scurrying,
that wasn’t very reassuring,
I could see a load of rats,
one of them was very fat!
Tiny am I, Tiny am I,
Oh I do like blueberry pie!

“Hello!”
I bellow,
“Hello!” They shout back,
“Hello!” Said the one who was very fat!
Tiny am I, Tiny am I,
Oh, I do like blueberry pie!

We came across a web,
it was weird because it was red!
The spider looked at me with its bright red eyes,
and it said,
“I like to eat flies!
Tiny am I, Tiny am I
Oh, I do like blueberry pie!

It gave me a smile,
it was so vile!
I said,
“Why do you like to eat flies?”
“They must be scared before their eyes!”
Tiny am I, Tiny am I
Oh I do like blueberry pie!

I asked,
“Why don’t we be friends?”
They agreed,
“Then we can do all the mends.”
As I turned round the bends,
I said,
“Bye, bye my friends!”
