"My First Flight"

When very small and not tall
I always wondered what it
would be like to fly?

Mum and Dad then gone out
for a drink I think!
I don't know where
my sister and 4 brothers
would be.

I was standing on the landing
two flights up on my tip toes
looking over the bannister rail
my goodness!

I began to fall
down and down I went whirling
into mid-air
landed on the bottom
of the fourth stair

I sat and cried! and cried!
bruised and felt ill inside

Then I heard a voice calling
through the letter box
are you alright Julie

Mum and Dad put their key
in the lock!
But I sat shaking with shock!
