The Shed

Do you know what a shed is? A cow shed, a tool shed, a wood shed, for example. It's a small room, away from the main house, for storing or keeping things, animals, tools, vehicles, etc. Ask your partner if she/he has ever seen a shed. Let her/ him describe it to the class.

Now read the poem

There's a shed at the bottom of our garden 

With a spider's web hanging across the door, The hinges are rusty and creak in the wind.

When I'm in bed I lie and I listen. I'll open that door one day.

There's a dusty old window around at the side With three cracked panes of glass. 

I Loften think there's someone staring at me

Each time that I pass,

I'll peep through that window one day.

My brother says there's a ghost in the shed 

Who hides under the rotten floorboards. 

And if I ever dare to set foot inside 

He'll jump out and chop off my head, 

But I'll take a peek one day.

I know that there isn't really a ghost, 

My brother tells Hes to keep the shed for his den: 

There isn't anyone staring or making strange noises And the spider has been gone from his web since I don't know when,

I'll go into that shed one day soon.

But not just yet...
