The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Chickens are too Chickeny

Chickens are too chickeny
And dogs are far too doggish,
Geese are far too goosified
And frogs are far too froggish,
Hamsters are too hamster-ish
As far as I can see,
These animals should all behave
A little more like me!

John Dredge

John Dredge is a silly person. He not only writes silly poems but also presents a silly comedy sketch podcast series called The Nothing To Do With Anything Show. Please do not hold this against him. He has presented silly music shows on Resonance FM and Mad Wasp Radio and has appeared at the Brighton Fringe by mistake. He has never played the ukelele.
