Take a look at this poem..

She was waiting for the train

They were standing in the rain

You were wearing a red tie

When I killed Mr. Kye

Mum was sleeping in bed

Dad was eating some bread

Jane was making a pie

When I killed Mr. Kye

Sue was sitting in her class

Jack was holding a small glass.

And you were walking by

When I killed Mr. Kye

The poem

She was waiting for the train

They were standing in the rain

When I killed Mr. Kye

Mum was sleeping in bed

Dad was eating some bread

Jane was making a pie

When I killed Mr. Kye

Sue was sitting in her class

Jack was holding a small glass.

And you were walking by

When I killed Mr. Kye
