18. Song about a baby
Rock-a-bye Baby
Rock-a-bye baby, in the tree top
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all
What other songs can you think of?
20. Draft#1 Opening
We call our baby snugglebump
‘Coz that’s all it can do
It snuggles when it’s happy
and bumps you when it’s …
21. Draft#2 Opening
I wake up early morning when the sky is
golden blue. ‘I’m off to find the
snugglebump,’ I whisper to Blue Ted.
22. Draft#18 Opening
The snugglebump lies asleep in its cave
I wriggle up close, ‘coz I’m oh, so brave
I rest my ear on the snugglebump’s hump
To hear a faint heartbeat kerthump, kerthump.
