"The Summer Bus"

The summer bus with an open deck top!
will take you along
You'll see sights and trees
youv'e never seen before
It may not even stop'

Scarves are blowing in the wind
A mystery tour about to begin!
maybe Pearly "King and Queen"
sitting in the front seat giving a wave.

As I look down
I can see fair ground tops
and candy floss,
some people's knees
a shop selling cheese'

The cliffs are coming into view
hangliders are floating down,
There's a huge seagull
who has his eye on someone's chips
want's to bombard and take it out
of a person's hand

The Sea is ebbing and flowing
to the shore!
Coloured balloons are out and
flags a celebration of years
gone by.

Steps leading up to a caf'e plateau
Icecreams all flavours and sizes
children with love and smiley faces.

The clowns in all diguises
with big white painted mouths
their eyes are made up like big
moon stones.

Disney faces are looking out the
window.the children are pointing too!
Minnie Mouse,Goofy,Donald-Duck,Pluto,
the Smurf,and crocodile
and of course "Scooby-Doo"
"I wanna be like you"

I really enjoyed this, great images Julie :) Well done!

Love this verse;
'The clowns in all diguises
with big white painted mouths
their eyes are made up like big
moon stones.'
