The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Registration Rap

Listen to the poem ...
Teacher took the register
I didn't hear a word
Cus Henrietta Carlton
Kept on tweeting like a bird
And someone else in next door's class
Was banging on the wall
And Kenny Haines had bumped his head
Because he was too tall
Josie Smith on table 2
Was slicing up a rubber
And Oliver had lost his pen
He soon began to blubber
Lollee had the hiccups
Bernie had a cough
Jacob's chair was squeaking
And the fire alarm went off
Bobby next to Mrs Green
Kept blowing me a kiss
I took a guess it was my turn
And said "Good Morning Miss!"
