Where is my story? I had it just near My grandma is coming and she wants to hear Let me see here - is my story near? "I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them Sam I am". No not this. Is this my story? I wrote it myself And last that I saw it was here on the shelf Let me just look is this my book? "one fish two fish, red fish blue fish" oh Noooooo! Where is my story? I wrote down the words To tell to my grandma of school and those birds Now let me see, is this by me? "Once upon a time in the middle of a rhyme" No, No not that one. Where is my story Oh where can it be? I drew all the pictures for grandma and me It could be up high. Is this mine I spy? "I want to tease, if you please" no, no that's not it! Not it at all Where is my story I know it was here And now I must hurry for grandma is near It's this one I think - I wrote it in ink "Francis Fry, private eye" Nooooooo! Where is my story? Oh this is a mess I wanted to show her but can't now, I guess I hear grandma knocking, oh! This is so shocking I wrote of the moon and the birds and the stars I even drew pictures of Venus and Mars I was so happy writing my tale And now it is lost - I just want to wail But grandma is knocking I haven't the time To make a new story or even a rhyme Grandma just holds me, she just holds me tight And gives me a present - I squeal with delight For here is my story all printed and new It's amazing what grandma and me can both do And now I remember when I read it loud My mummy was listening and she was so proud She looked at my story and posted in on And grandma, she read it while eating a scone She told all her friends and they liked it too So she told all her pets that she kept at the zoo She showed the butcher and the baker as well They thought it was special they said it was swell She went to the printers and had my book bound And I am so happy my story is found Oh Yes! Let's read together grandma Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Hehe. So cute. This would be a really good children's poem (and I mean that in a very good way). |

I love this!! *S* Reading it is the gift of a visit with my little nephew... right here in the middle of a workday. *S* I'm saving it to read to him (he's CRAZY for Dr. Seuss! *G*) |

Beloved one, when you write like this, I can see the delight of being with Jay, it simply shines through. As I’ve said often and often you have such quality in your work, the range the scope the degree of structure and form all go to show the quality of you as a writer, as a great writer. This is exactly the type of poem that will display your huge talent to all those who read you. Admittedly there are some who will be wildly jealous simply because you are amazingly talented, but if they are serious about writing they will learn that to read quality is the first step to them growing into better writers. Yes, beloved I am biased, but also as I’ve said before that bias couldn’t make you a great writer, which you are. And this is just a small sample of your ability, that ability that allows words to flow and be real, true representations of life. Well done beloved this is excellent work I love it utterly and forever Slushy   Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |
