Chat

 

 

I have a mum who likes to chat.

She chats to the dog

and she chats to the cat.

She chats about this

and she chats about that.

She chats on the telephone –

 

CHAT! CHAT! CHAT!

 

She chats in the kitchen

and chats in the street.

She chats to the neighbours

and people she meets.

She chats about this

and she chats about that.

She chats on the internet –

 

CHAT! CHAT! CHAT!

 

She chats in the morning

and chats in the night.

She chats when it’s dark

and she chats when it’s light.

She chats about this

and she chats about that.

She chats in the supermarket –

 

CHAT! CHAT! CHAT!

 

I have a mum who likes to chat.

She chats to my aunt

and to Great Uncle Pat.

She chats about this

and she chats about that.

All she ever does is

 

CHAT! CHAT! CHAT!
