GECKO on the WALL

Danielle Bruckert

There's a gecko on my wall,

I don't mind him there at all;

Lying quietly watching me,

he is quite good company.

There's a gecko on the rock,

she seems to be wearing a frock;

And I think she is asking me,

if I want to come to tea.

There's a gecko in the pool,

he really does look cool;

Sipping a long cool lemonade,

wearing sunglasses in the shade.

There's a gecko on the roof,

he is acting quite aloof;

Whispering calmly to me:

� I simply must get down,

since I have to go to town,

I need to be there by three.�

Of all the geckos that I see:

The gecko on a rock in a frock;

The gecko looking cool in the pool;

The gecko who's aloof on the roof;

I like best of all,

the gecko on my wall,

lying quietly,

watching

me.

THE END

Writing on the Wall

Danielle Bruckert

I wanted to write as much as I could,

I wanted to write for all I was able,

I wanted to write whether or not I should,

I wanted to write on the chairs and the table;

But Mum said, � Only on the paper!�

I wanted to write on the walls in the halls,

I wanted to write on the floors and the doors,

I wanted to write on the bats and the balls,

I wanted to write on mine and on yours;

But Mum said, � Only on the paper!�

I wanted to write on the bricks and the blocks,

I wanted to write on the rug and the stairs,

I wanted to write on the grandfather clocks,

I wanted to write on my teddy-bears;

But Mum said, � Only on the paper!�

I wanted to write up high in the sky,

I wanted to write way down below;

I wanted to write far away and nearby,

I wanted to write on my big toe;

But Mum said, � Only on the paper!�

I wanted to write on a thing I can send,

I wanted to write on a thing I can bend;

I wanted to write where no-one can see,

I wanted to write, because I am me!

But Mum said, � Only on the paper!�

Mum didn�t want me to write on the walls in the halls,

Mum didn�t want me write on the floor or the door;

Mum didn�t want me to write on the chairs or the stairs,

Mum didn�t want me write on the blocks or the clocks;

Mum wanted me to write:

ONLY ON THE PAPER!

I wanted to write on the walls, I really did,

But I knew it would make Mum sad;

I really wanted to be a good kid,

I didn�t want to be bad.

So do you know what I did?

I wrote,

ONLY

on the paper.

About the AuthorDanielle Bruckert

Danielle is a New Zealander living abroad, who now calls Africa home. Her chosen career is as a professional pilot, she has worked in a variety of aviation capacities from instruction to airline flying, and is the author of several aviation text books.

Danielle started writing children's books as a creative outlet from the stress of her 'day job' and as a break from the sometimes monotonous work required for her

professional writing. She began with the Mac and Dipper series, aimed at 5-10 year old children, inspired by two of her own dogs. After having a child of her own, she suddenly found she had a muse, an eager resource for test reading, and, by benefit of her age, an honest critic

all in one. It was fun and rewarding to write creative stories which matched her daughters learning curve and a series of 'junior' books aimed at pre-school children

followed.

Encouraged by the responses received, and already familiar with the self-publishing route through her non-fiction books, Danielle started the website

www.freekidsbooks.org, and began publishing the books for others to enjoy.

Because of her passion for children's literature and the role it plays in improved literacy standards, all of Danielle's own books are available for free download and

may be used free of charge for non-commercial purposes.
