It's Still Life

7 July: The Natural History Museum

He

says, it’s all bones, bones,
but where are the dinosaurs

and he doesn’t need the toilet
because he’ll sit
on his bum so poo won’t come out

and he likes trains that rattle
and then asks, what’s a gap.

She

can name most every dinosaur
in the museum

and says her socks
are tired of walking

and she wants to drink her ice cream.

They

want to know
why people eat radishes

and they watch
Jungle Book again …
and then again, again.

We sang London Bridge’s falling down, whilst standing on London Bridge and looking at Tower Bridge. Then off to the Natural History Museum to see dinosaurs. This song from Jungle Book is on some kind of YouTubing loop; good thing I like this song. ©Misky 2022 Shared with #amwriting on Twitter
