MY BROTHER - 1958

I told my teacher
And my friends
About my brother
He's brand new

His pram is white
With a black hood
And a rose picture
Stuck on the side

It has big wheels
Like a go cart
I have to tippy-toe
To see inside

My baby brother
Smiles at me
Shares my room
And my teddies

I really love him
He's all mine
I tell my teacher
All about him

Mum came to school
To see my work
My teacher asked
About our baby

My mum’s real mad
Said I told a big lie
I can’t go out to play
For a whole week

She hasn’t told my dad
But she will tonight
But it weren’t a lie
I want one
