Amelia Harold is five years old
shes quiet and shy and not very bold
her favourite toy is her cuddly raddy
the head of a dog just a rag for a body.
Amelia liked to make things and play
She wanted to mess around every day
She even liked grown up things like reading
but her favourite game was pretend to be cooking
She was a bit different from her older brother harry
Who loved outer space and anything hairy
He would take his friends to the moon on a trip
and pretend to be an astronaut in his magic rocket ship.
The jungle was the place they longed to see
To swing with the monkeys in every tree
The jungle they made looked just how they wanted
But didn't expect the elephant which squirted
Amelia's dream was to live like a Queen
In a Castle of colours, silver, blue and green,
They built a fort which was fit for a King!
They wanted to stay there and never stop playing
The poem works well. You have adapted Tim Burton's verse to fit in with film seamlessly.
