NICOLA AND JACK.
She smiles - it's real joy.
Which one?
She asks as the baby
holds out two hands.
She throws a monkey
face at him -
The baby squeals
with delight.
His mother wipes
a silent tear
from her eye.

LITTLE JACK BATTY.
Little Jack Batty
Sat on a tatty
Eating his Ploughmans Lunch
His breakfast all done,
And his dinner to come
And said, 'What a nice bit of brunch!'
