The 'play' that resulted from the insight mentioned below has been to participate in a "Writing stories for children" distance course offered by a Swedish university. One of the first exercises in this course was to write a poem or nursery rhyme about the circus for small children. This is what flowed from my pen ... for children aged 3-6.
Dippetty doppetty down
The circus has come to town
You’d better watch out for Bello the clown!
Dippetty doppetty down.
Splishetty splashetty splush
Bello the clown has a brush
He’ll give you a shave if you don’t watch out!
Splishetty splashetty splush.
Flippetty, flapppety, flop
Bello the clown has a mop
He’ll wash you away if you don’t watch out!
Flipppety flappety flop
Ticketty tacketty tock
Bello the clown has a clock
He’ll wind you up if you don’t watch out!
Ticketty tacketty tock.
Hippetty happetty hix
Bellow the clown’s full of tricks
He’ll do them again if you don’t watch out!
Hippetty happetty hix.
