The Tall Ships!
I was expecting a lovely walk in town,
When suddenly I heard a booming sound,
I looked up high and what did I see?
Some fireworks shining beautifully,
I saw some dancing and colours flash,
I knew I needed to make a dash.
People were pushing, shoving, surging,
Trying to get a glimpse, of THE TALL SHIPS!
So that’s why there were fireworks, that’s why there were dancing,
That’s why there were colours flashing.
I ran down the quay to join in the fun,
And celebrate with everyone!
There was one particular ship I saw,
With red sails and a yellow door.
The sea was calm not a wave to be seen,
The sailors looked ever so keen.
The cats and dogs were going crazy!
They made me feel quite hazy.
Soon the proper firework show started,
With a gold one that sparkled and glittered,
It shone and shimmered.
After that it was time to go home,
And leave the dogs and cats alone.
I expected a lovely walk in town,
But turned out I didn’t frown!
Eventually I tiptoed back,
And stood on a twig that made a crack,
I wandered sleepily up the stairs that were steep,
With eyes so tired they couldn’t even peep.
I gazed out into the endless sky,
And saw some colourful birds with patterned wings that helped them fly,
I looked down again onto the bay,
As rainbow fireworks danced the night away.
