I NEARLY FORGOT MY NORMAL APRIL POETRY TAUGHT TO ME AGE 8 BY WINNIE BARLOW

"What, take an umbrella on such a fine day" said the elf to his Mother and frowned.
"Just look at the sunshine so golden & gay, and the sky is quite blue all around"
So off he went skipping in new suit of yellow, but before he had gone very far, there blew up a cloud and enormous big fellow, you know what these April clouds are.
Then down came a shower that pelted and stung, and soaked the poor elf. With a sigh, he hung out the tunic & knickers to dry.
But alas, when he tried to get dressed, he found they had shrunk in the soft April rain, and he had to walk home in his vest.
So now pray be careful, since April is here, that you are not caught like the elf.
When there's a cloud that's about to come near. Go Hurry and shelter yourself.
