Everyone grumbled. The sky was grey.
We had nothing to do and nothing to say.
We were nearing the end of a dismal day,
And there seemed to be nothing beyond,
THEN
Daddy fell into the pond!
And everyone's face grew merry and bright,
And Timothy danced for sheer delight.
'Give me the camera, quick, oh quick!
He's crawling out of the duckweed.'
Click!
Then the gardener suddenly slapped his knee,
And doubled up, shaking silently,
And the ducks all quacked as if they were daft
And is sounded as if the old drake laughed.
O, there wasn't a thing that didn't respond
WHEN
Daddy fell into the pond!
Daddy Fell Into The Pond.

Evelyn wood: What an utter delight is Alfred Noyes. His poetry is colourful , and so interesting, amusing and colourful. His poem, ˋWhen Daddy fell into the pond´ Is a great story of the misadventure of Daddy ,
Using simple straight forward words that do not require interpreting , so taking nothing from the story. Wonderful use of the English language.
