‘Family Photo’ by Stephanie Boase
I just love the reality and happiness of this poem!
Australian Childrenâs Poetry
Family photo
Brush your teeth
Comb your hair
Dress up smart
To look the part
Gather together
Re-arrange
Bunch up tightÂ
Now, move apart
Pick up the children
Brush off the dirt
Everyone stillâŚ
This wonât hurt.
Oh no,
Here comes a sneeze!
Look at the camera
âSmiling please.â
CameraÂ
FlashÂ
Toilet dash
âDinner time!â
Adults chime.
Just one more
CLICK
âThatâs a take!â
All the children celebrate.
Lolly bribes have worked a treat.
Now,
Letâs all go out to eat!
