My Dad

My Dad         by Anthony Browne

He’s all right, my Dad.

My dad isn’t afraid of ANYTHING, even the BIG BAD Wolf.

He can jump over the moon 

And walk on the tightrope (without falling off).

He can wrestle with giants 

Or win the father’s race on sports day, easily.

He’s all right, my dad.

My dad can eat like a horse 

And he can swim like a fish.

He’s as strong as a gorilla 

And as happy as a hippopotamus.

He’s all right, my dad. 

My dad’s as big as a house and as soft as my teddy.

He’s as wise as an owl and daft as a brush.

My dad’s a great dancer and a brilliant singer.

He’s fantastic at football 

And he makes me laugh, a lot. 

And I love my dad, you know what?

He loves me, and he always will.
