Ruby’s Red Riding Boots

Ruby loved playing in her room

She played with Daisy Dolly

In her trolley

She played with Billy Bob

The plastic Frog

She played build a house

With blocks and Mini Mouse

She played swim club

With Barbie in a plastic tub

Ruby loved playing outside

She played run around

With Geoff the greyhound

She played climb the tree

with squirrel McGee

She played hopscotch using stones and sticks

And built a hut from tiny mud bricks

Most of all Ruby loved playing with Hazelnut her horse

They played together in the meadow

They played together in the creek

They played follow the leader

They played hide and seek

One day when Ruby was playing capture the flag

Along came her mum with a big brown bag

Ruby peeped in, eyes open wide

something sparkled deep down inside

A pair of red riding boots shiny and new

she slipped them on, first one then two

Now when Ruby and Hazelnut play

Ruby wears her red riding boots

All through the day!
