Touch Troll to animate
There was once a troll,
Who wanted to fly.
She aimed for the stars,
Up High in the sky.
She ate many beans,
And rose like a balloon.
Into outer space,
And circled the moon.
But the beans wore off
A few days later,
And she crashed down to earth
To form a crater.

5.Telephone dialing II
Telepathic
I fell down the stairs,
And hit my head,
Which is now in a spin,
And so I went back to bed.
But then the phone rang.
It was a nurse on the line.
She told me to hang up,
And ring nine nine nine.

9.Spy in the Ivy
Spy in the Ivy
She's in the bushes.
She's in the trees.
She's in the long grass,
That blows in the breeze.
She has big black eyes.
She is quite stout.
She purses her lips,
That little pout.
She watches you.
She knows you're there.
She has eagle eyes,
That follow you everywhere.
She's a secret agent.
She's a Russian spy.
She has only one weakness,
That is hot apple pie.

Pendulum
To the pulse of time,
Tick tock - tick tock,
Swings the pendulum
Of the mantlepiece clock.
