Ssshhh Be Quiet.... Poem by Della Perry

Ssshhh Be Quiet....



Sssh be quiet...
Don't speak
Don't let the cat out of the bag
Don't let the secret escape.

Sssh be quiet...
Don't hurt the adults
Suck it up
Shut the xxxx up!

SSssh be quiet...
Don't utter a sound
Don't let it get around
Don't let the truth be told.

Sssh be quiet...
Don't speak
No-one will believe
I will still be relieved
While I carry on and deceive.

Ssshh sssshhhh ssshhhh... I say.

Time, time bangs louder and angrier each second, each day,
Time, time shouts louder each year in my ear.

No, you ssshhhhh, and listen to my story...
Jackanory, a true story...
Shut your mouth instead
Not scared of you anymore
Not scared of those closing doors
Finally it will all be said.

I will never ssshhhhh-ed again!

general rule of using i and e side-by-side: i goes before e EXCEPT After c. it just looked 'wrong' to me, so i checked: de·ceive dəˈsēv/ verb verb: deceive; 3rd person present: deceives; past tense: deceived; past participle: deceived; gerund or present participle: deceiving (of a person) cause (someone) to believe something that is not true, typically in order to gain some personal advantage. :) i would Google Jackanory, a true story.. in order to try to understand the ending, better, but i'm short on time now. ho ho. bri :) well, i COULDN'T HELP MYSELF! but it didn't help me understand this: No, you ssshhhhh, and listen to my story... Jackanory, a true story... Shut your mouth instead Not scared of you anymore Not scared of those closing doors Finally it will all be said. I will never ssshhhhh-ed again! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jackanory From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jackanory Jackanory-1960s.jpg A title frame from the 1960s (top, the same font continued to be used throughout the 1970s) Genre Children's television Created by Joy Whitby Country of origin United Kingdom Original language(s) English No. of episodes 3640 (2330 missing) Production Running time 15 minutes Release Original network BBC1 (1965–96) CBBC (2006) Picture format 405-line (1965–69) PAL (576i) (1969–96) Original release 13 December 1965 – 24 March 1996 Chronology Related shows Jackanory Playhouse Jackanory Junior Jackanory was a long-running BBC children's television series that was designed to stimulate an interest in reading. The show was first transmitted on 13 December 1965, and the first story was the fairy-tale Cap-o'-Rushes read by Lee Montague. Jackanory continued to be broadcast until 1996, with around 3,500 episodes in its 30-year run. The final story, The House at Pooh Corner by A. A. Milne, was read by Alan Bennett and broadcast on 24 March 1996. The show was briefly revived on 27 November 2006 for two one-off stories. The show's format, which varied little over the decades, involved an actor reading from children's novels or folk tales, usually while seated in an armchair. From time to time the scene being read would be illustrated by a specially commissioned still drawing, often by Quentin Blake. Usually a single book would occupy five daily fifteen-minute episodes, from Monday to Friday. A spin-off series was Jackanory Playhouse (1972–85) , which was a series of thirty-minute dramatisations. These included a dramatisation by Philip Glassborow of the comical A. A. Milne story The Princess Who Couldn't Laugh. bri :)
