Glitter and Glue
Pretty, prickly glitter,
Sloppy, gloppy glue,
Sticky, tacky Sellotape,
To decorate my shoe.
Waxy, whiffy crayons,
Pencils, large and small,
Splishy, sploshy finger paint,
To decorate my wall.
Fluffy, puffy cushions,
A splash of sweet perfume,
Sprinkly, twinkly fairy lights,
To decorate my room.
Misty, murky hairspray,
Lip stick, pink and plum,
Two dingley, dangly earrings,
To decorate my mum.
Sloppy, gloppy glue,
Sticky, tacky Sellotape,
To decorate my shoe.
Waxy, whiffy crayons,
Pencils, large and small,
Splishy, sploshy finger paint,
To decorate my wall.
Fluffy, puffy cushions,
A splash of sweet perfume,
Sprinkly, twinkly fairy lights,
To decorate my room.
Misty, murky hairspray,
Lip stick, pink and plum,
Two dingley, dangly earrings,
To decorate my mum.
