DOWN TOWN
By Josie Whitehead
I see many different faces
As they pass me in the street;
And some smiles upon the faces
Of the people that I meet.
​
I can hear the rumbling traffic
As it slowly passes by
And from down inside a pushchair
I now hear a toddler cry.
​
I feel lost beside the thousands
Who surge through the shopping mall,
With the constant noise of voices
As they chat or sometimes bawl.
​
I smell coffee in the café
And the smell of . . . .
ooh! steak and chips - mmm
But the taste which I love most of all
Is when they reach my lips.

Test Your Senses
​
With a partner or small group:
​
Tell them what you think of, using your own senses, for when you have been into a town. ie What do you see, hear, smell, taste or touch?
​
In my town we have brass bands that play lovely music in our gardens, and we can sit in the sunshine and listen to this music. I also hear the traffic, of course, but down at our river I hear humans and also dogs barking as they play and ducks quacking.
