Without Being Told
by Jessica Zerebeski, age 10
Old Granny Seep
Is in her cottage old
She’s fast asleep
Without being told
Rumours spread
As a few days pass
"Perhaps she’s dead?"
Someone asks
The people do weep
And their hearts are cold
‘Cause she’s fast asleep
So the cottage is sold
On the seventh day
In the cottage old
Granny awakes
Without being told
The people do laugh
And now they know
That they were daft
To believe it so
The years fly by
And it is said
That a rumour is a lie
And a lie is dead
