Burlington Infants wrote lots of poems: many
of these included here were written by following the commentary of two girls
who instructed me around the hall with occasional visits from one boy to chip
in. Evening Walk to Sewerby Go

hanging on Like
snakes Little
man feeding things Mud
and water – Trees Nice
