Our last post reminded us of our childhood favourite poem, from Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘A Child’s Garden of Verses’. It was called ‘The Land of Counterpane’.. and was all about when you are ill in bed and you have all your toys around you and play wonderful (slightly listless) games.
There is another very suspect poem in this book.. i think it is called ‘Foreign Children’.. anyway.. never in your whole life have you read such an un-pc racist poem.. and imagine it is for CHILDREN!.. Anyway.. i always rip that page out when i get a copy.. so perhaps you should too!
The Mikes gang went to Moonlight Cinema to see ‘Nacho Libre’ last night and much chortling ensued at the site of Jack in his stretchy pants… oh.. he is so lovely really! Thanks erin for letting us know it was showing!
Happy day to you, friends!
