For my niece Molly, who at four months is already partial to a bit of rhyming, and my sister Avril, whose earliest innocent rhyme, aged two or so, was 'Get into the ditch, bitch'.
I like peas
I like cheese
What are these?
Let's give them a squeeze
I like grapes
They sometimes escape
I like making them into shapes
I like greens
I like beans
I even quite like tangerines
I like bread
So does Ted
Just two slices and we're fed
I like gammon
I like salmon
I'm glad there is no gammon salmon famine
I like shakes
I like cakes
I like everything my Mam bakes
I'm not complete
without a sweet
but that's only for a treat
