- 13 - THE SEASONS First of all comes spring. The brown grass grows green. The birds start to sing, And everything is really keen. Next comes the suunmer When the flowers begin to grow. There is no time finer, When to the sea I go. Following this comes fall — The leaves all gold and red. And the northwind starts to call And everything soon is dead. Last of all winter is here — The time of ice and snow, Christmas Tree and reindeer — The nicest time I know. This is the time to see the bees, Building their hives among the trees; When daffodils are out in bloom There ' s little time for any gloom I To hear the robin sing again, To watch the busy mating wren, To see the river flowing fast. Spring, oh spring, you ' re here at last When all the squirrels ' n ' bears awake, Scrawny and thin, just like a snake. When fishermen cast again their lines, For fish of many different kinds. Spring, oh spring, you ' re here at last! It ' s just too bad you go so fasti David Black Prep. 5 Age 11 SPRINGTIME Prep. 6

When I look up, the moon seems like a witch riding aro md with her husband, the goblin, and three little witchlets behind. When I go to bed, the bed squeaks under me. The light above me seems like a man ' s skull. After a rain storm the trees hang heavy over our house, and the drops go drip, drip, drip. But if I take my mind off fear, I will go to sleep. Geoffrey Neal Prep 4 Age 10. FALLING There was a boy called Walling, Who took a step and was falling. When they asked, Where are you? He said, In my shoe. And that is what happened to Walling. They tried to get him out. But he was just too stout. They put in -a pin. He said, Now I » 11 be thin. But that just didn ' t happen to Walling. Kevin Brown Prep 4 Age 10 A YOUNG MAN WITH A NOSE There was a young man with a nose. Who always scratched itV with his toes.
