My Iggle By BELINDA BARTON My Iggle is sweet and furry, She is rather plump and purry. She has two eyes and one nose and a funny mouth that grows. I love my Iggle all the time Until she’s grey and goes away She likes to play In the hay When the farmer goes away. My Iggle is the very best, When she isn’t being a pest.
