A poem by Molly

When I have a nasty dream

Annie says "It's OK"

When Pepper comes and picks on me

She tells them to go away.

I'm Molly. I am 6 years old.

I live in NYC.

A very tricky place to live

In 1933

Miss Hannigan runs the Orphanage

She gives us tons of chores

We have to wash the dishes

And polish all the floors.

She calls us "Little pig droppings"

Her catchphrase makes us ill:

"If this place don't shine like the Chrysler building

Then all your backsides will.''

Annie's gone to a millionaire's place

For how long, we don't know

I really hope she'll be back soon

This place is awful, so

Since Pepper always picks on me

I'll stand up to her tricks,

Although that may be difficult

Because I'm only 6.
