Pupplesnuff

There is a land called Bowkabay
Beyond the moon far, far away
And in this strange and wondrous land
Lies a crystal sea with golden sand

The Raspa trees grow tall and green
Like nothing you have ever seen
Flamento flowers bloom at night
To catch the dew and clear moonlight

Beside the cliffs of Meltramoor
Across a valley corridor,
Within a cave upon a bluff,
Lives a dragon they call Pupplesnuff

A gentle creature kind and fair
With wings to fly upon the air
His silv’ry scales are smooth and bright
They glisten in the morning light

When the day turns into night
Pupplesnuff will then take flight
He soars upon the moonlight beams
To visit children in their dreams

And when they’ve closed their sleepy eyes
He’ll take them riding through the skies
Upon the winds they’ll sail away
To frolic ‘til the break of day

Past the stars that shine so bright
Off they’ll go in mystic flight
The children from both far and near
Love the gentle dragon dear

But when the morning starts to dawn
Ole Pupplesnuff gives out a yawn
Through dreamland he has quickly sped
To take the children back to bed

But he will wake at end of day
Ready again to romp and play
With all his little sleeping friends
From bedtime ‘til the evening ends

So close your eyes and drift away
To the far off land of Bowkabay
And dear one if you’re good enough
You’ll get to ride on Pupplesnuff

OH MY!! Bravo! And I am smiling big time!!  
I love Pupplesnuff already and we've only just met!
You have a fine talent for storytelling.
This is a keeper to read to my granddaughter.
I do believe you should publish a children's book.
A most magical enchanting write.
And, it's great to 'see' you!

~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~


Autumn, the year's last loveliest smile~

When I was playing the other day
with all my blocks and trucks
a little man a tiny man said
he would bring me luck

luck luck luck
said he would bring me luck

He took me on a golden train
to the land of dreams
he promised me the silver stars
and the moon beams

moon moon moon moon
and the moon beams

When I awoke I found myself
inside my tiny bed
and all the elfs and fairies
were inside my little head

head head head head
inside my little head

Forgive me for using this reply to write something I'd forgotten that I wrote years and years ago for my pre school class.  Pupplesnuff made me do it.

I can only agree with what has already been said.

YOU are magic.
