Moving House
Noel King
Why are
trees as bright as daisies Here?
And why are the roof tiles Orange?
Why’ve we
this ugly black thing To cook on?
And what’s
that smell In my room?
Where are
there people to play With?
Where are
our neighbours?
Where’s my
teddy - he was cornered in
The
trunk?
And there’s
only one toilet, Downstairs!
Well, Mama? Papa?
