Ticker 1
Ticker 1 lives in a very big house.
With other Tickers and 1 little mouse.
She has a big garden with a see-saw and cat.
She plays the guitar and sings rather flat!
Ticker 2
Who’s this coming smartly dressed in blue.
Look very closely. It’s Ticker 2.
He likes to go in his garden all day.
From morning to night he likes to play.
Ticker 3
Flowers, yellow buttons and big, red beads.
Here comes Ticker 3 at a very great speed!
She’s got a red hat and jumps and hops,
Dances about and rarely stops!
Ticker 4
Hi folks! I’m Ticker 4 and pretty cool.
The coolest Ticker in the school.
I’ve many things of many shapes.
Bedroom curtains and other drapes.
Ticker 5
I’m cuddly, I’m warm and I’m sweet.
Ticker 5 you’d want to meet.
I bumped my head when I jumped on my bed
Won’t tell you what the doctor said!
Ticker 6
I’ve always imagined I’d fly out to space.
And join other people in the race.
At last I’ve done it. I thought I would.
I’m Ticker 6 and feeling good.
Ticker 7
I’m Ticker 7. Animal mad I’m told.
I love the wild life, but I’m not very bold!
Along with the Tickers, I enjoyed the zoo.
None escaped. Not even a few!
Ticker 8
They say ‘Watch out’. Ticker 8 is about.
But the Tickers don’t know I’m going to sort out
A surprise party and wonderful cake
That I am REALLY going to bake.
Ticker 9
They call her crafty Ticker 9!
Because she is inventive.
To measure, cut and draw some things
She has to be attentive.
Ticker 10
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Here comes Ticker 10.
He marches his band, again, and again.
They march in the wind, past frogs that are green.
It’s the BEST Marching Band that you’ve ever seen!
Ticker 0
Who's up to mischief? Its Ticker 0.
He’s planning a surprise.
He mustn’t get caught!
What could be kinder.
He’s planned a blinder!
Presents and food for all them.
Our silver Ticker is a gem!
