This came to me in the middle of the night. It is dedicated to all those young children who are denied the experience of walking to school and the enjoyment of splashing in puddles, squelching through mud and collecting sticks.............
Bear
Hunt Revisited
I’m
sitting in my car seat
I
cannot move a muscle
I’m
really safe
Uh-oh
pot holes
We
can’t go over them, we can’t go under them
Oh-no,
we’ll have to go through them
Bump
scrape, bump scrape, bump scrape
I’m
sitting in my car seat
I
cannot move a muscle
I’m
really safe
Uh-oh
speed bumps
We
can’t go over them, we can’t go under them
Oh-no,
we’ll have to go through them
Bounce
smash, bounce smash, bounce smash
I’m
sitting in my car seat
I
cannot move a muscle
I’m
really safe
Uh-oh
a traffic jam
We
can’t go over it, we can’t go under it
Oh-no,
we’ll just have to wait
Tick-tock,
tick tock, tick-tock
What’s
this?
One
glowing red face, two crying eyes – it’s Mum!
Where
are we?
Rows
and rows of big cars, lots of crying children
It’s
school!
………………..
I
don’t want to do the school-run again!!
