Come and listen to the Jolly Postman story again.

The green words can be found on the Glossary page, if you do not know what the word means then look it up.  Enjoy the story!

             The Jolly Postman       
    or other people's letters.

Once upon a bicycle, so they say,
A Jolly Postman came one day
from over the hills and far away ...

With a letter for the Three Bears.

---

So the Bears read the letter (except Baby Bear),
the Postman drank his tea
and what happened next we'll very soon see.

---

Off went the Postman, toodle-oo!
In his uniform of postal blue to a gingerbread cottage -
and a garage too!

With a letter for the Wicked Witch.

---

So the Witch read the letter
with a cackle of glee
while the Postman read the paper
but left his tea.  (It was green!)

---

Soon the Jolly Postman, we hear tell,
stopped at a door with a giant bell
and a giant bottle of milk as well,

With a postcard for ... guess who?

---

So the Giant read the postcard
with baby on his knee,
and the Postman wet his whistle
with a thimbleful of tea.

---

Once more on his bicycle the Postman rode to a beautiful palace,
so we've been told, where nightingales sang
and a sign said 'SOLD',

With a letter for... Cinderella.  (There's a surprise!)

---

So Cinders read her little book,
the Postman drank champagne
then wobbled off
on his round again (and again and again - Oops!)

---

Later on, the Postman, feeling hot,
came upon a 'grandma' in a shady spot;
But 'Grandma' - what big teeth you've got!

Besides, this is a letter for... Oooh!

---

So 'Grandma' read the letter and poured the tea,
which the not-so-Jolly Postman drank... nervously.

---

Now the Jolly Postman, nearly done (so is the story),
came to a house where a party had begun.
On the step was a Bear with a bun.

But the letter was for ... Goldilocks.

---

So Goldilocks put the pound note in the pocket of her frock,
and the Postman joined the party and they all played
'Postman's Knock'.

---

Once upon a bicycle, so they say, a Jolly Postman came one day
from over the hills and far away...

---

         And went home in the evening - for tea!

---

The End
