Hide and Seek

hide in the butter

hide in a tree

hide in the nest 

of a big bumblebee

hide in a teapot

hide in a drawer

hide in the teeth

of a crocodile's jaw

hide in a slipper

hide in a shoe

hide in a bottle 

of PVA glue

hide in a mattress 

hide in the sink

hide in the fizz

of your big brother's drink

hide in a beanbag

hide in a pram

hide in a jar

of raspberry jam

hide in the flannel

hide in the snow

I can still find you

wherever you go
