We climbed in the car and we drove up and down

And spent the weekend near to Basingstoke town.

The house that we stayed in had teddies galore,

Some penguins, a dolphin, a duckling – and more:

A parrot, a badger, a bear with no hair;

A monkey that clings to the back of the chair;

An owl that’s called Hedwig; a hog and a dog;

A lion; an elephant chasing a frog;

A snowman, a santa, a panther that’s pink;

A big bear and small bear who live in the sink;

A squeaky banana, a funny old bunny;

A doll and a scarecrow to eat up the honey;

A snake, a racoon and a clown with a frown;

All these in the house near to Basingstoke town.

He told me it couldn’t be done, but I did it!!

I’ve written a poem with Basingstoke in it!

I do hope you thought that my poem was nice.

It’s clever, with Basingstoke coming in twice.
