CHORAL VERSE POEM

Dog in the playground WHOLE CLASS


By allan Ahlberg SOLO PARTS.

Dog in the playground We’ve cornered him now:


Suddenly there. He can’t get away.
Told you we’d catch him
Smile on his face Robert and Hey!
Tail in the air. Don’t open that door-
Oh Glenis, you fool!
Dog in the playground Look Miss what happened:
Bit of a fuss: Dog in the School.
I know that dog- Dog in the classroom,
Lives next to us! Dog in the hall.
Dog in the toilets –
Dog in the playground He’s paying a call!
Oh, no he don’t 46 children
Headmaster
He’ll come with me 3 teachers
You see if he won’t. Hullabaloo!

The word get round; Lost him!


The crowd gets bigger Can’t find him!
He’s vanished! And then:
Hs name’s Bob Look Miss he’s back
It ain’t – its Trigger. In the playground again.

They call him archie! Shouting and shoving –


They call him Frank! I’ll give you what for –
65 children
Lives by the Fish Shop! Head for the door.
Lives by the bank!
Dog in the playground
Who told you that? Smile on his face.
Pipe down! Tail in the air
Winning the race.
Shut up!
I know that dog since he was a pup. Dog in his element
Off at a Jog,
Dog in the playground: Out of the gates,
We’ll catch him Miss Wish I was a dog.
Leave it to us. Dog in the playground
Just watch this! Couldn’t he run?
Dog in the playground
Dog in the playground: -------------------GONE!
What a to-do
35 children
Caretaker too,
Chasing the dog,
Chasing each other.
Know that dog –
He’s our dog’s brother!
