Keith's Ramblings

I have been meaning to read that book for ages. It’s by Poppy Field, a story about some drug dealers and it’s called No ‘ope – I am determined to read it!

I went to the book shop with my mate Page the other day hoping to find a copy. I did, but it was on the top shelf and slightly out of reach. Page poked it with her umbrella hoping to dislodge it, but instead, the one next to it called Watch Out tumbled down and hit me on the head.

We had another idea. I took a book called The Step from the shelf and stood on it. Almost there but I still couldn’t reach it. We placed a copy of Your Highness on top, but it still wasn’t high enough.

Page got the thickest book she cold find from the dictionary department and added it to the pile. A couple of shop assistants appeared and they saw us. 

To cut a long story short – and No ‘ope is a very long story – I purchased a copy and it’s the most boring book I’ve ever read.

There’s another book I’ve been meaning to read for ages. It’s by Libbi Ray and it’s called Quiet Please. I saw it on the top shelf in the library. I decided to borrow a book by Justin Reach instead!

Writing this silly story reminded me of something I posted back in 2013…..

.

I can see it

just up there

I can’t reach it,

that’s not fair!

.

If I grab this leg

and shake

it may fall down!

but it might break

.

Even stood

on tippy-toes

how I’ll get it

heaven knows

‘

Suppose I climb

up on this chair?

I don’t like heights

don’t think I dare

‘

If I clamber

on the shelf

I might fall

and hurt myself

;

It’s not fair

I’ll let it be

it’s not easy

being three
