mid-term break
at two o'clock our neighbous drove me home
the repet of the O sound shows how long the drive home was
the baby cooed and laughed and rocked the pram
the baby dosnt know what is going on dosnet understand
snowdrops and candles soothed the bedside
shows that the room was peaceful and soothing
that what had happenend was really upsetting and sad
