I'm Here

I had a big row yesterday

With a friend of mine

His name is Alan

And his shouting sent me cryin’

When Lady Penelope tried to reason with me

I groaned and ran away

Parker followed me in Fab-1

And mummy found me by the sandy bay

“Are you mad?” I asked as she walked up to me

“Heavens no, darling, as you can see,

Your friendship with Alan isn’t over yet,

But I’m still here, there’s no need to fret.”

So lying warm in mummy’s arms,

I suddenly feel all safe and calm

She hugs me tight, lying down on the sand

We safely snuggle hand in hand

Suddenly Alan came running right in

From playing volleyball with Tin Tin

He snuggled next to me, tears in his eyes,

And said something which took me by surprise:

“Look, I’m sorry I shouted at you,

Listen to me loud and clear.

I’ll never scream at you again,

‘Cause that’s what all friends fear.

But if there’s a party on Tracy Island,

We can yell and scream all we like

I’m following you every step of the way,

You’re a mischievous little TYKE!”

On last word, he playfully pinched my cheeks

Causing me to giggle

He kissed me multiple times down my side

And gave my tummy a tickle

For the rest of the day I felt safe

By Lady Penelope’s side

I know now that I also felt safe

With Alan’s endless pride.
