• This house on wheels is running a race,

Taking people from place to place.

• Winter weather, fresh and cold,

In this house will always hold.

When it helped me cross it,

Walk along it, run or ride

In a bus, or in a car,

(It’s for you to choose how far).

They grow longer from day to day.

I’ll gladly let you in.

But, please, don’t forget, you see,

To hold out your hand to me.

Dress with it a tasty salad.

But if left under a cluck,

It becomes a chick (or duck).

And everything you want to know

Is stored in those black marks you see

On every leaf you find in me.

(A book)

 

• My teeth are sharp, but I don’t bite,

And you make use of me all right.

My humble duty’s plain and fair –

To help you comb your lovely hair.

(A comb)

• When the rain – pat, pat, pat – starts it monotonous talk,

It’s best friend, I’m perfectly sure, will be out for a walk.

(An umbrella)

There he is, in his bed, half-asleep.

If you dare to take off all his yellow coats,

You’re certainly going to weep.

Hardly ever see each other.

Where they’re coming face to face.

Is taller than trees,

Up, up it goes, and yet never grows?
