I like eating lots and lots of food
I like computer games when I'm in the mood
I like paddling in a swimming pool
I like basketball, I think it's cool
I like swimming, I swim like a bear
I like football, I play like hare
I like running, I'm fast as a dog
I like sleeping, I sleep like a log

I like sunshine when it's really sunny
I like being hyper – I dance and prance
Then ask for money!
I like rock-climbing, I'm agile as a monkey
I like drawing – art is really funky
I like abseiling down the mountainside
I like dreaming in my bed
I like chocolate - I'll stop eating when I'm dead
