This is a song a friend of mine wrote in the second grade.

[LoZoccolo]

It is song with a march-like melody.

They say "shut up" when we're not even talking

[LeftishBrit]

1. Well, it expresses a strong emotion!

And some people say that's the essence of poetry.

When I was about 6, I wrote a poem about my mother which ended with the immortal lines:

"I like to sit on Mummy's lap.
I think that Mummy is a jolly good chap."


(I think I got 'jolly good chap' from some old-fashioned children's book - it certainly wasn't the way my family talked, apart from the gender aspect!)
