Michael Rosen poetry by Michael

Our reading group is looking at poetry by Michael Rosen. We read the following poem:

Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Ted.
"Leave me alone", he says,
"I'm just going to bed.

Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Roger
"Do you own this bin?" I said
"No, I'm only a lodger."

Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Sue,
"What are you doing here?" I said
"I've got nothing else to do"

I then wrote some extra verses for the poem myself:

"Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Mike
and after I met that dog
he got in to a fight.

Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Jakob
and after I met that dog
he ended up naked.

Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Flynn
and after I met that dog
he ended up in the bin.
