AddressDevizes Books Ltd, 30 Sidmouth Street, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10 1LD T: 01380 725944 W: www.devizesbooks.co.ukStart date 18-05-2022 Offer DetailsPoems this week Daddy Fell into the Pond by Alfred Noyes & Cock-Crow By Edward Thomas Daddy Fell into the Pond by Alfred Noyes 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 then 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 it sounded as if the old drake laughed. Oh, there wasn't a thing that didn't respond When Daddy Fell into the pond! Share

AddressDevizes Books Ltd, 30 Sidmouth Street, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10 1LD T: 01380 725944 W: www.devizesbooks.co.ukOffer DetailsThe Toy Tree is joining forces with Devizes Books! A prime example of small independent businesses helping each other out when trouble strikes. The Toy Tree, which specialises in handmade wooden toys, has closed at Old Swan Yard, after a combination of family commitments and competition from the internet . But the reaction from their customers was a surprise. “People told me I couldn’t close so I looked around for other options.” Devizes Books in Sidmouth Street, came to the rescue and are delighted to be able to host The Toy Tree. “I think this is a good example of small businesses supporting each other.” Share
