Sad Poem

I’m sad

and I don’t know why.

 

I eat an ice cream

and I jump really high

but I’m still sad.

 

I chase the dog

round and round the garden.

I watch my favourite

programme on TV.

I sing very loudly,

but I’m still sad.

 

I smash a football

against the wall.

I splash wildly

in a bubbly bath.

I try to laugh

but I’m still sad.

 

I smile

I scream

I yell

I wear my Batman suit

but it’s all just

no good –

 

I’m sad

and I don’t know why.
