Children's Poetry - Help needed

[Berries]

DD2 has just started a new school where they do the ESB (English Speaking Board) exams. Hers will be in March & we need to choose a poem she can recite. Has anyone any ideas? It's the first time she has done anything like this, so it needs to be fairly easy to remember, and also about 1 minute long!
Have gone through all our poetry books & can't find one that's just right, they're all either too long or too short. I'm desperately trying to find another book which had a poem about dad stuck up a tree - anyone heard of it?
Help!!!

PS DD2 is 8, in yr4

Oh, I used to do those exams at secondary school I can't think of the dad stuck up a tree one, though it sounds like Michael Rosen, maybe? I remember having to learn Silver at about that age. It's a bit old fashioned, but it was quite easy to memorise.

Thanks Tamum. We're a bit confused as she came home with a poem from school but it's about 3 times as long as the suggested ones. Suggested ones are about the same length as Silver, so may go with that one.

Daddy fell into the pond by Alfred Noyes? If that's it I'll write it out for you. Starts:

Everyone grumbled. The sky was grey....

Would any of TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats be suitable?

Berries-dont know Daddy got stuck up....
but do know Roger Mcgough(not sure how you spell his surname) does fantastic childrens poetry

Thanks people. I'll look up some of those other suggestions & send her in with a few next time. Her teacher can pick an appropriate one then.

I found this one about a Dad stuck up a tree ...

Dad and the Cat and the Tree by Kit Wright

This morning a cat got stuck in our tree,
Dad said, "Right, just leave this to me."
The tree was wobbly, the tree was tall
Mum said, "For goodness sake don't fall!"
"Fall?" scoffed Dad, "A climber like me?
Child's play this is! You wait and see."

He got out the ladder from the garden shed,
It slipped, he landed in the flower bed.
"Never mind," said Dad brushing the dirt
Off his hair and his face and his trousers and shirt,
"We'll try Plan B. Stand out of the way",
Mum said "Don't fall again, OK?"

"Fall again?" said Dad, "Funny joke!"
Then he swung himself up on a branch - It broke.
Dad landed, wallop! - back on the deck.
Mum said "Stop it! You'll break your neck!"
"Rubbish!" said Dad, "now we try Plan C.
Easy as winking to a climber like me!"

Then he climbed up high on the garden wall,
Guess what? He didn't fall!
He gave a great leap and he landed flat
In the crook of the tree trunk right on the cat!
The cat gave a yell and sprang to the ground,
Pleased as Punch to be safe and sound.
So it's smiling and smirking, smug as can be,
But poor old Dad's
Still
Stuck
Up
The
Tree!

WWB that's it - you're fantastic. I spent ages last night googling every combination of dad, cat, tree & stuck & couldn't find it. i knew mn wouldn't let me down
