Christmas Lights

Raining

Pouring

My dad’s up a ladder,

 

Wet,

Cold,

Attaching the reindeers antler,

 

Up

Down

I start to climb,

 

1’oclock

2’oclock

Taking too much time

 

To high

Wobbling

Cat’s eating the wire,

 

I pull

It pulls back

My patience starts to tire,

 

Mum

Comes out

“It’s in the wrong places”

 

Goes inside

We take it down

“This is going to take ages”

 

Cold

Tired

It’s eventually done

 

Inside

Warming up

“Now wasn’t that fun?”
