Four Year Speak by Clare
O'Reilly
|
He's three foot four
An inch for every year
The grown-ups talk in code
Traffic jams are not sandwiches
Hard shoulders are pieces of road
Playing - up- well, it's not a great game
Listening carefully to the spaces in their speech
Sometimes he hears what they miss
The language of the ridiculous
