A Sticky Toffee Poem
Listen to Helen read her poem ...
Sticky fingers, sticky thumbs,
(Got a toffee from my mum.)
Sticky lips and sticky chin,
(Pop the wrapper in the bin.)
Sticky nose and sticky cheeks,
(Might be chewing it for weeks.)
Sticky ears and sticky hair,
(Can’t believe it got up there.)
Sticky pets and sticky friends,
(Who knows where this story ends?)
Eating toffees can be tricky,
when they make you SUPER-STICKY!
(Got a toffee from my mum.)
Sticky lips and sticky chin,
(Pop the wrapper in the bin.)
Sticky nose and sticky cheeks,
(Might be chewing it for weeks.)
Sticky ears and sticky hair,
(Can’t believe it got up there.)
Sticky pets and sticky friends,
(Who knows where this story ends?)
Eating toffees can be tricky,
when they make you SUPER-STICKY!
