The London bus,
    and the letter-box red;
your tongue and lips,
    and the cut that bled.
The holly berries,
    and the washing-liquid top,
the ladybird,
    and the light that’s shouting ‘STOP!’.

Again, you find the colour in the child, that's brilliant. Great mixture of things too

Thanks, Di. It is fun to try to think simply like a child, isn't it? My mother-in-law (99) and her neighbour in the home rather liked these, I think the child's fun and the rhythm, and not too long for her to read in very large print! Rhiannon

A fittingly simple structure, with charming familiar imagery and a nice flow. I could easily see this as a page in a toddler's board book.

Thank you. Naturally attracted to this colour! I was tantalized by your reading last night, and cannot today, but hope to check out better soon. I'm slow to catch all detail when listening like that! Rhiannon
