PUDDLES AFTER THE RAIN

 

I go out to play,
Rain falls from the sky and pitter patters near my eye.
Thunder strikes and I feel scared,
I run, run, inside.

When I get inside, I have a little nap.
After that I wake, and find the sun is up!
Then I play a board game,
While nibbling on a treat.

When I'm bored of that,
I run outside again.
There're lots of puddles on the ground,
Shimmering before my very eyes!

I twirl in the grass and look about,
I leap in puddles all around!
I shout with glee and yell 'hooray'!
I'll jump in puddles from night to day!

Suddenly, from out of nowhere,
My mummy pops out.
'Get inside, you filthy child!' she screeches like a witch.
'You're banned from going outside until you eat a leech!'

THE HOMOPHONE BEAR

The bear who has bare feet can't stand the sight of the vine that bears fruit.

OUR SHOES ARE WET!

To the tune of "Frere Jacque" ("Are you sleeping Brother John?"}


Our shoes are wet!
Our shoes are wet!
In the rain!
In the rain!
We don't want to wear them!
We don't want to wear them!
'Cause they're wet!
'Cause they're wet!

Our shoes got wet from a sudden downpour while at the Yap family house in Kluang over the Chinese New Year. Megan came out with this ditty when it was time to go home and we had to put our shoes on. 

THE CHRISTMAS FAIRY

I'm the Christmas fa-airy
Standing straight on the Christmas tree
I flap my wings like a bumblebee
And smile with glee
I'm always happy
For I am the Christmas fa-airy!

The Man Who Tried To Pay

Once there was a man and he went to a restaurant.  He tried to pay for it (sic) but he couldn’t pay.  He tried and he tried but he couldn’t get his way.  So the Mum who was there, payed (sic).  He couldn’t pay because the Mum with him came there almost every day.

This was on the same occasion as the previous story.  Norman tried to pay but Ying exerted the ‘influence of regular patronage’ and compelled the cashier to reject Norman’s money.

MEGAN & THE QUARTER-BOWLS OF RICE

There once was a girl called Megan who loved to eat rice.

One day, she went to a restaurant called (sic) Robson heights (sic). She had some rice.  She ate a whole bowl of rice, and her Mom left a quarter-bowl of rice, and she ate it.  Her Granduncle left a quarter-bowl of rice too.  She also ate that.

The End

Sep 2010

We had dinner that evening at a Chinese place along Jalan Robson.  There were 5 of us: Ying, Norman, Tua Lau Ko, Grandma and Megan.  Megan ate up her own bowl of rice and then all the remaining quarter-bowls of rice.
