Poem of week 3

It’s as Easy as...

It’s as easy as walking with your feet in the air
or trying to cuddle a big grizzly bear.

It’s as easy as giving your last sweet away
or asking your teacher to come out and play.

It’s as easy as tying your shoes with one hand
or telling a duck to live on dry land.

It’s as easy as asking the Queen round for tea
or sitting a crocodile down on one knee.

It’s as easy as stretching a bicycle tyre,
or asking a dragon to put out his fire.

It’s as easy as counting the stars in the sky,
or asking a crocodile to put on a tie.

It’s as easy as giving a ghost quite a fright,
or asking a bat to stay in at night.

It’s as easy as getting the vicar to laugh,
or asking a spider to jump out the bath.

It’s as easy as this, it’s no piece of cake,
trying to get rid of my toffee-tooth ache!
