Recitation Competition for my daughter

We had the below poem for the competition in the school for my daughter in 1st grade.

MY PLAYMATE

I often wonder how it is

that on a rainy day

A little boy just like myself

comes out with me to play

 

And we step in all the puddles

when walking into the town

but though I stand the right way up

he is always upside down

 

I have to tread upon his feet

which is a sorry sight

with my right foot on his left foot

my left foot on his right

 

I really wish he'had talk  to  me

he seems  so very kind

for when I look and smile at him

He does the same I find.

 

But I never hear him speaking

so surely he must be

in some strange land the other side

just opposite to me
