This is the story of Jonathan Peggs,
A ten year old boy who has very long legs.
He lives with his mum and his dad by a river,
He has a pet dog and a he hates to eat liver,
When he walks down the street the children all cry,
“Look! Their goes that boy with his head in the sky”.
They shout and they stare,that makes Jonathan feel sad,
Although having long legs really isn’t that bad.
You see, just last Friday about a quarter past four,
Whilst John sits at home there’s a knock at the door,
“Please Jonathan help! You must come and see,
Its Casper my cat he’s stuck up a tree”!
He puts on his coat, his boots and his hat,
“Quickly let’s go we must rescue your cat.
Please out of our way, we’re both in a hurry”.
While down at the park they’re starting to worry,
As Casper the cat sits high on a bow,
The people are planning and wondering how?
“We need a big ladder, a sheet and a rope,
We’ll rescue that cat we can’t give up hope”.
With a scratching of heads and then a big sigh,
“Look here comes that boy with his head in the sky”,
With one outstretched arm he plucks Casper out,
The crowd they go wild and then start to shout.
“Hoorah, three cheers for Jonathan Peggs,
The ten year old boy with the very long legs”.
“He’s saved the pet cat in no time at all,
We’re sorry we laughed at you being so tall”.
So think of this story as you walk down the street,
Don’t laugh and joke at some people you meet,
We’re not all the same, we’re made differently,
It’s what’s on the inside that we should all see.
