Oh fly, fly up to the sky Summer Bean Fly up, fly back, tell me what you've seen "I saw stars like snowflakes on black, black cloth I saw two moons kissing, a comet like a moth Meteors hissing across it all Planets dancing as if at a ball" Oh swim, swim into the sea Summer Bean Swim down, swim back, tell me what you've seen "I saw fish flicker in front of crinkly coral I saw crabs scuttle, a ship in a bottle Seaweed ripples in the heavy waves Seahorses hide in deep, dark caves" Oh dig, dig into the ground Summer Bean Dig down, dig deep, tell me what you've seen "I saw worms wiggle, beetles in the soil I saw Molten rock bubbling, all on the boil Glittering gold, blue black stone I saw all this and then I went home."

When blue was red and orange pink No-one here knew what to think But Summer ran as fast as gray To the King of Colour, she went to say "You silly King, you over-slept, you Better get up, red turned to blue!" Bopped with a balloon he got out of bed Had a shower, demanded to be fed So Summer made an omlette with fuchsia eggs Ran it to the King on orange legs He ate, touched a finger to some toast It turned pink to brown, it was the most Amazing thing Summer had ever seen Until she saw him turn purple back to green Summer saved the day, all was mellow But she kept a piece of sky that still was yellow

Summers butterflies Black with gray wings and Black stars. Alien Rainbow butterflies with Black scary dots Roses shaped like swords Grasshoppers and caterpillars Spiderwebs, snails and worms And those little worms called maggots written by Summer, age five
