Poem Recitation

Before Nicolas switched schools, he was responsible for reciting a poem every term in front of his entire class.  He had to use a prop and act it out.  He was graded on his ability to memorize and recite the poem.  He performed flawlessly and received a 100% from his teacher.  Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of him during the recitation, but I did get a picture of the prop.  The poem and prop are shown below.

Mice

Rose Fyleman

I think mice are rather nice,

Their tails are long,

Their faces small,

They haven't any chins at all.

Their ears are pink,

Their teeth are white,

They run about the house at night.

They nibble things

they shouldn't touch.

And no one seems

to like them much.

But I think mice are nice.
