If I were king...

Our latest message from Sir John the Bearheart was all about poetry!

Sir John contacted us to say that his king was demanding a poem be written about him!

Sir John, anxious and worried, wrote to ask for 5/4's help in writing a poem in a rhyming couplet style.

So we went away and looked at A.A. Milne's Poem 'If I were king'.

I often wish I were a King,
And then I could do anything.

If only I were King of Spain,
I'd take my hat off in the rain.

If only I were King of France,
I wouldn't brush my hair for aunts.

I think, if I were King of Greece,
I'd push things off the mantelpiece.

If I were King of Norroway,
I'd ask an elephant to stay.

If I were King of Babylon,
I'd leave my button gloves undone.

If I were King of Timbuctoo,
I'd think of lovely things to do.

If I were King of anything,
I'd tell the soldiers, "I'm the King!"
