Hide And Seek (A Children's Poem) Poem by C Richard Miles

One, two, three…
It will be
Hide and seek.
Please don’t peep.

Two, three, four…
Looking for
That secure
Wardrobe door.

Three, four, five…
I hope I’ve
Found a fine
Place to hide.

Four, five, six...
Will my tricks
Keep me hid
For a bit?

Five, six, seven…
I’m so clever:
Here for ever;
It is heaven.

Six, seven, eight…
Getting late:
How I hate
This long wait.

Seven, eight, nine…
It is time
Me to find;
I don’t mind.

Eight, nine, ten…
It’s the end.
Now, my friend:
Start again.
