'Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.'So they took it away, and were married next day By the Turkey who lives on the hill.They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon;And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon, The moon, The moon,They danced by the light of the moon. By Edward Lear

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful pea green boat,They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note.The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar,'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are!What a beautiful Pussy you are!' Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you sing!O let us be married! too long we have tarried: But what shall we do for a ring?'They sailed away, for a year and a day, To the land where the Bong-tree growsAnd there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood With a ring at the end of his nose, His nose, His nose,With a ring at the end of his nose.

Dinosaur AdventureOnce upon a timeThe dinosaur was running in the streets,I wanted it to be mineIt was breaking everything, crash, snap, bang!I fired my gun at it and it shrunk,It was small now, which was fine.I put it in my pocket and drove home.I called it Jeff.Jeff lives in the garden and eats lime.My friends think he’s great too.
