Watching Mum

.

I 'm sitting very quietly

so I can keep an eye on Mum.

She's got a piece of chicken for me and is waiting

for the oven to get hot

I hope she'll watch over it and won't let it overcook

so I'll watch her watching the chicken

from somewhere much closer to my dish.

The Bird

Do you see the little bird?

I thought I'd go and greet him

but when I got closer

he just flew away

but I just can't understand why.
