        ("Ickle Sez" will remain a part of AussieJohn's section of the newsletter...)

I have been doing short poems from observations of my youngest grandson between birth and his now 5th year. We call him "Ickle" as that is how he always says (little).

I'm sending you my grandson's poems

I know he"ll give me hell

for now he says he's known as

" Ickle aussie john "as well

Ickle sez: "Shoes "

Ickle now has grown for sure

he's not a baby any more.

He has some pounds he'll have to lose

and it's hard keeping him in shoes.


Ickle sez: "Asthma"

Ickle's asthma is a bind'

He's finding it a bit unkind,

running brings him to his knees

and then he gets that rotten wheeze.


Ickle sez: "Swim"

Ickle's doing well at school.

and he loves swimming in the pool

his teachers keep an eye on him

because they say it's sink or swim.


Ickle sez: "Japanese"

Ickle's japanese is fine

he's practicing it all the time

and when he babbles it out loud

then grandad John is very proud.


Ickle sez: "Mouse"

Nana just saw a mouse in the house,

and Ickle just thinks she just wanted it dead.

But Ickle has seen it and thinks that it's cute

and said it should only be given the boot.


Ickle sez: "Poems"

Ickle's poems are now on line

I'm getting better all the time

but no matter what I'm on

they're not as good as Aussie John.

He says that I'll improve in time

and I'll get better with my rhyme,

but my tempo's still a mess

and that's the thing I must address.


Ickle sez: "Chick"

This week our hen had chickens

while I was home alone

so looks as though I'm gonna

have a "Tweety" of my own.


Ickle sez: "Cake"

My birthday party was like heaven

now I've reached the age of 7

all my family had come

and we had cake for everyone.


Ickle sez: "Puters"

"When you grow up" they say to me

"What is it that you want to be?"

But it's too soon although I know

computers are the way to go.


Ickle sez: "Star car"

They let me ride my bike to school

and I think that is really cool.

But years from now I'll be a star

and I will drive there in my car.


Ickle sez: "Pause"

Spotty's feeling rather sore

'cos I dropped something on his paw.

He's finding it is hard to play

the bandages get in his way.


Ickle sez: "Lullaby"

My mummy tucks me into bed

and kisses me on Ickle's head,

and I'm so happy I could cry

while nanna sings a lullaby.


Ickle sez: "Knife"

My grandad John is now in strife he gave me a Swiss Army Knife. My Nan says "What a way to go he'll probably cut off a toe".


Ickle sez: "Reading"

Now I can read it surely looks

as though I'm really into books.

I open one when �ere I can

right now i'm reading Peter Pan.


Ickle sez: "Dairy"

My uncle owns a dairy.

Last week he showed me how

to hook up all the suckers

so I could milk a cow.
