Louise, The Dogs And The Words

My tummy hurts, my ear is sore I don't want to go to school no more I know enough, I'm clever, me I want to stay at home you see My leg is aching, I need a poo I don't need school, I'll stay with you I'm feeling sick, don't make me go I'll miss you mum. I miss you so I want to stay at home and play I'll go to school another day

High in the stars the sun's path round the sun Signals the end of a year and the beginning of one Humans chose the date on which it would start And hold it close and deep in their hearts It's a date that our ancestors plucked from the sky We tell ourselves this year will be my year to try And do all the things I've always intended Yet the list's always there when the year has ended But with every new day we can start anew Don't wait for January the first to be your best you Happy New Year x
