The poor
little Gruffalo
The sun was shining in the
warm summer sky,
Everyone was sleeping but
the bluebirds that fly,“Oh my” screamed the frog, there aroused such a clatter,
He sprung off his lily-pad to see what was the matter.
A large thump made the ground
rumble,
A miserable old boar made
a massive grumble,“What is this giant?” the mouse said as he tumbled,
“A Gruffalo I think and he loves ferret crumble!”
The ferrets gasped in
horror as their house was knocked down,
A little rabbit gave a
little rabbit frown,A figure appeared with knobbly knees and toes,
A deer screamed out “This must be a GRUFFALO!”
Everyone scattered and
away they hid,
Apart from the snake who
away he slid,The Gruffalo ran to the bridge end,
And screamed out “Let’s just be friends!”
The Gruffalo begged to see
someone again,
But still no one would be
his friend,Then he remembered a place he would enter,
“let me think , The Dean Heritage Centre!”
He gathered his things up
as he knew he should be here,
“Goodbye ferrets, rabbits,
mouse and deer”,As he stormed through the trees,
“I am leaving you forest so let that be.”
He journeyed along, day
and night,
Sometimes the dark would
give him a fright,“Oh what lies those animals make,
I don’t eat ferret crumble, I prefer a pasta bake!”
Finally he arrived at the
place he knew,
“I love this place, Buts
what’s this Queue?”"WE LOVE YOU GRUFFALO, YOU’RE FAMOUSE HERE”
“How was your trip to see the mouse ferrets and deer?”
The gruffalo was puzzled
as children formed a crowd,
Screams of joy were very
loud!“You make us happy with the stories you’ve told”
“But nothing goes on in my life now I am old”
“I cannot stay here, I
will frighten the babies!
You won’t want me here I
might give you rabies!”“Come on Gruffalo” the children pleaded,
“FINE!!!” as a place to sleep was definitely what he needed!
