At The Party.


At the party

I had some chocolate,

well, a lot of it,

and some cake, and biscuits too.

Perhaps I ate them too quick

and that was why I got sick,

right there, on the carpet: it was blue.

It WAS blue.


My red jumper was a mess,

and a little girl's dress,

and my shoes were covered in it too.

My mother's poor face

plainly bore my disgrace,

but, sure, that's what children do,

that's just what we do.
