Going Home

When I walked out of the school the big black gates sadly cried goodbye to me

Once I got to the bus my myki beeped itself on and the bus started to walk to the junction

When I reached the tram my myki tapped himself on again and the tram started to hum while he was running

Once I reached my stop I said goodbye and thank you to the tram and my front gates opened as I walked near and enthusiastically said good afternoon
When is sat down the couch cried, “Ouch!”
So I said sorry and moved somewhere else
While the playstation invited me to play
With him

Once it was bedtime the stairs pulled me up to the top.
The carpet tripped me into bed,
and the blankets held me as tight as possible while the pillow moved under my head until I was at rest
