[hometext] => I wrote this for a school harvest festival. I personally think it's a bit trite and could do with more work. Let me know what you think!
[bodytext] => I lost Everything.
I looked in all the usual places and I couldn’t find it. I looked in the cupboard, in the Horn of Plenty. I looked in the vaults of the Bank in the City. I looked on every page of the Books of Knowledge, But I couldn’t find it anywhere. I walked along the street asking all the people there But they didn’t know where Everything could be. A lady said the Government had hidden it away. A man thought he’d seen it in a villa by the sea. An old man said he’d had it when his wife was still alive But she’d been gone for ages now; he didn’t have a clue. At last, I tried a little child, playing in the sand. He told me where to find it and sure enough, I did - He’d had it in his pocket all the time. Mummy had given it to him when she’d kissed him on the head. He shared a little bit with me, and I went home, to bed.
