Dinner With The Sun

There once was a monster who met a mouse
and they became great friends.
They would race and chase and dance around
and sometimes play pretend.

The monster, she would share her dreams.
The mouse would share his too.
So one day, when the pond dried up,
they knew what they should do.

They packed a breakfast and a lunch
and got ready to run;
thinking if they did their best,
they'd have dinner with the sun.

Sure, thanks for reading, Marcus.

I've been thinking that perhaps writing children's books could be the way to go. 'Cause some of them I read to my son and I'm thinking, I could have written better than that!

[mattavelli]

Ya, and they really stick in our minds. Let's see what you can do. :)

[marcus]

I wrote one 'poem' already for my son, but didn't think it was that great. I'll post it later when I get a chance.

Have you ever tried crafting children's stories? They would love a fable that started out this way. Valentine
