Family Life
Zur Titelliste
|
It’s nice to have a big family.
You always have someone to talk with.
You always have someone to talk about.
You always have someone to walk with.
I have a very big family:
Two fathers and three mothers.
We’re all together in a lovely house
with nine sisters and seventeen brothers.
I have twenty-three uncles and thirty-five aunts
and nieces and nephews no end,
and cousins and grandparents more than I want –
but what I don’t have is a friend.
A friend is so lovely, a friend is so nice.
To have a nice friend is great.
I’d give you my family for one good friend –
or two, or seven, or eight!

Holiday Seasons
Zur Titelliste
|
Springtime in Paris in a lovely hotel,
tasting great food and great wine.
Seeing the Louvre, the Champs Elysées,
when it’s warm and the weather is fine.
April or May is the time to go away
on a trip to this beautiful town.
But I, I must stay, I have no holiday
and must work until the sun goes down.
Summer in Cornwall, a cottage, green grass,
a boat in Carlyon Bay.
Walking on the beach, looking at the sea,
sleeping and resting all day.
June and July is the right time to fly,
fly away to some beautiful lake.
But I, I must stay, I have no holiday,
and must work as long as I am awake.
Autumn in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont.
Hillsides all yellow and red.
Indian summer, long walks in fresh air,
late dinners, breakfast in bed.
Winter is near, the end of the year,
when we all celebrate its last night.
And I’m sure, in the end,
with some days off, my friend,
everything will be all right.
