Wow! π€© Read this fantastic poem "The Pig and the Baboon", inspired by one of our #UnlockingBankes drawings!
#ExploreYourArchive
@DorsetArchives The kids and I have amused ourselves completing the poem. Here is our version:
The Pig and the Baboon went to sea in an Egyptian sailing boat,
And all the way down the river Nile, together they did float.
The Pig was hot and wanted some mud, so Baboon dived in the river,
So, we've all heard of the Owl and the Pussycat? What about the Pig and the Baboon?
For a bit of #FridayFun we want to work out how *that* rhyme goes!
We'll start with:
"The Pig and the Baboon went to sea
In an Egyptian Solar boat..."
