Anyone remember this poem?

[Evilmorty]

I didn’t like my porridge but my mummy made me eat it,
So while she wasn’t looking, I gave it to my (can’t remember who. Various pets including a parrot who don’t like it either, child eventually throws it on the fire)
It hissed and fizzed and sizzled, like porridge will when burning
(Mum comes back and sees porridge all gone)
You ate that quickly, faster than I ever saw
So while I wasn’t looking she dished me up some more

It was in a book of poems I had from M&S when I was a child, I’d love to fill in the blanks.

Bumping for you - I had a quick Google but couldn't find it! Could check with M&S I guess

I’ve googled it so many times and it never comes up. Would M&S know? It was probably 1986 😂

I am searching for that book too! Because of the porridge poem. It's true, Google knows nothing about this poem. I wish I could remember the name of the book.

Was the book blue?

My son loved this book and Id love to find it again. It also had the poem 'if you should meet a crocodile'

Try searching St Michael instead of using M&S or Marks & Spencer’s in your search as I recall everything being branded with St Michael back then.

This is the children’s category on eBay that you would need to keep checking

Porridge
By Clive Riche

I didn’t like my porridge
but my mummy made me have it,
So while she wasn’t looking,
I gave it to my rabbit!

I gave it to my rabbit!
But he was eating carrots.
He didn’t want it either
So I gave it to my parrot.

But he was busy crunching
Brown nuts on a big brown log.
He didn’t want it either
So I gave it to my dog.

My dog, he had a juicy bone,
He didn’t want it either,
So while no one was looking
I threw it in the fire.

It hissed and steamed and sizzled,
As porridge will when burning
And then I heard mummy’s feet
Into the room returning!

She said: “You ate that quickly,
Faster than I ever saw
You must have really liked it?”
And she dished me up some more!!

I can’t believe you found it! I loved this so much.
