Trucking to Tiny Town

Listen to Nina reading her poem ...
We’re trucking, we’re trucking to Tiny Town
where everything’s teeny-wee-small.
We’ll park our pantechnicon by the gates
cos we don’t want to squash them all!
We’ll swap our big boots for tiny flutes
and play them a tiny tune.
We’re trucking, we’re trucking to Tiny Town -
PARP PARP! We’ll be there soon!

We’re trucking, we’re trucking to Tiny Town -
we’ve packed them a picnic tea.
A biscuit, a plum and a gherkin - yum yum!
Enough to feed thirty-three!
We’ll shed our big thoughts, and we’ll laugh and cavort
til we feel just as huge as the moon.
We’re trucking, we’re trucking to Tiny Town -
PARP PARP! We’ll be there soon!

About the Writer


Nina Parmenter

Nina lives in the Wiltshire Countryside and writes poetry for humans of all ages. Her children’s poetry has previously appeared here and in Better Than Starbucks, and her poetic offerings for adults can be found scattered through journals and books of all descriptions. Some of her flightier poems have unfortunately escaped, and she hopes to round these up from the flight deck of the Dirigible Balloon.
