Lemon Lime ~~~ One early morning I got up out of bed I went to my dad said "wake up sleepy head" He rolled out of bed and staggerd down the stairs I followed down behind him with my fifteen teddy bears ~ He slumped down at the table for just a minute or two before I said "good morning" and then "how are you" "I'm fine" he said "but why did you wake me at such an early time" ~ As he asked I answered and urgent made it sound "Dad, I really am craving a glass of Lemon Lime" So to the fridge he staggered took out the little jug spilled some in a glass and watched me glug glug glug I dashed back up the stairs teddy bears and all With dad still in the kitchen staring at the wall ~~~ 2/2000 Jennifer McCoy |

Been there. Done that...lol I hope this sweet child never loses her interest in poetry. Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Jennifer, I loved your poem! Keep on writing them, but try doing it without waking your poor dad up first  Eric. "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

Jennifer, This is as sweet (and tangy) as the first time I read it. I still remember that teddy bear parade and your dad just staring at the wall -- wake up sleepyhead is right. This deserves to be in the book.Mike |

Jennifer, The title alone drew me in, for I love Lemon-Lime. The whole poem is delightful, but the end is the best. I Love It |

Jennifer, you have a talent beyond being only 9. Get your dad to show you your birth certificate, maybe you're older than you think, because this poem is very good. I hope you continue to write more poems. Linda M. |
