Tap the wooden bowl. Tock, tock. The wooden bowl says hello.
Tap the tin biscuit box. Bong, bong. The biscuit box has a deep voice.
Tap the window. Tick, tick. The window says, gently, please.
Tap your knee. Pap, pap. Your knee says nothing, but it is listening.
Tap your bear's tummy. Whump, whump. Bear says, more, please.
Tap, tap, tap. Everything has a voice. You only have to ask.
