Stevie Taite - A Lesson On Poetry From My Five Year Old lyrics

I sat in bed one morning With a note pad on my knee When in wondered my Charlie And he snuggled up to me He said, 'You writing poems? We are learning that at school I know a lot about them' I said, 'Really mate, how cool' He stared at me intently As he stretched out on the bed His legs crossed at the ankle And a hand propped up his head After I had sorted through And read back what I'd penned He slid off of the bed And peered up at me from the end He stayed there quite transfixed It kinda put me off my flow I looked over my gla**es But he wasn't gonna go! 'Mum' he said ' has it got all the things a poem ought It should include good rhyme and rhythm That's what I've been taught Does it have some repetition And patterns that are clear What theme have you gone for? ' I smiled from ear to ear. My Charlie, you've remembered well It's Impressive, what you know What else have you been taught then? His face with pride did glow! He ummed and arghed a little bit To recall all he could 'Oh yeah, you need some 'wow words' too They'll make it really good! ' I nodded with an 'oh I see, Well thanks for all your tips' He came and leant his head on mine And kissed me on the lips He left me to my writing How adorable he'd been And I put my first idea aside And wrote one about him!
