The Tragedy at Mini-Beastie Hall In Beastington a family lived, who made a "Beasts R You," It was a section of a garden - well, a mini-beastie zoo. The little creatures all moved in and crawled around the wall, And the lovely name they gave their home was Mini-Beastie Hall. "Let's throw a lovely party, if the family gives consent. We'll plan a meal, arrange some games, get invitations sent." The news got round, the day arrived, guests came to "Beasts R You". What a really lovely place to live, it's exactly like a zoo." A ladybird, a grasshopper, slugs and worms came too - It was such a nice occasion and the party grew and grew. One brought his own computer - the spider's name was Fred. "I've had a lovely thought" he said "You can learn to surf the web." "A computer's such an asset for your lovely little park I'll teach you how to crawl the web - if you wait until it's dark! I don't want you to bug it, or to introduce a worm - I'll only teach you one by one - just wait and take your turn." So, one by one they entered: "Just what can we achieve?" - But a tragic thing then happened, for no-one seemed to leave. Mini Beastie Hall went quiet, there was no-one on the wall - Which was really not surprising - Fred had eaten one and all.	Poem by Josie Whitehead
The itsy bitsy spider (or The eensy weensy spider) climbed up the water spout. Down came the rain and washed the spider out. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. And the itsy bitsy spider (or eensy weensy spider) climbed up the spout again.
