SING A SONG OF PEOPLE
Sing a song of people Walking fast or slow; . People in the city Up and down they go. People on the sidewalk People on the bus; People passing, passing. In back and front of us. People on the subway Underneath the ground, People riding taxis Fiound and round and round. Craig Mead, aged 12 SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER Young men, women and Beejee fans Come to the discos—man oh man. Jivey music, flickering lights. Bumping people, jeans so tight Everybody feels the beat, beat, beat Moving shoulders, arms and feet But the song they like the most of all is Saturday Night Fever! Sandra Love, aged 12.
Jeremy Kirk, aged 12
THE VILLAGE A handful of solitary houses, A hike to get to the shops, A two-classroom school for the children, And no pub for the men to get their hops. Dolly Stevenson, aged 12. THE HIGHWAYMAN Out in the forest Where all is black A horse came galloping, Galloping back. With his saddlebag full And luck to last The Highwayman galloped Galloped past. His cloak was denim His musket gold His breath was musky, His hands were cold. A stagecoach came now into sight. His horse was ready for the fight But then he realised his mistake — It was not full of rich Landlords, But redcoats instead! Bullet by bullet he wound up dead.
