Our reading group is looking at poetry by Michael Rosen. We read the following poem:
Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Ted.
"Leave me alone", he says,
"I'm just going to bed.
Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Roger
"Do you own this bin?" I said
"No, I'm only a lodger."
Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Sue,
"What are you doing here?" I said
"I've got nothing else to do"
I then wrote some extra verses for the poem myself:
"Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Mike
and after I met that dog
he got in to a fight.
Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Jakob
and after I met that dog
he ended up naked.
Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Flynn
and after I met that dog
he ended up in the bin.
