- I'm angelina ballerina,
And today is saturday,
But not a normal saturday.
- Angelina!
Breakfast!
- Oh, yes!
It's saturday!
Saturday is absolutely,
Positively
My most favorite day
Of the week!
- Look, mum.

Are ballerinas,
Just like angelina.

We moved yesterday,
And you sleeped
In my room last night,
'Cause your room
Has boxes in it.
- Polly, of course I remember,
But I'd rather not.
- What do you say
We spend the day
Exploring
Our new neighborhood?

Saturdays.

Changed.

Alice isn't next door,
And miss lilly isn't
Just around the corner anymore.

Will ever be like before.

Fine.

Round jams too!

To do them,
