berry pickin with the CAT!

With in a world of make believe, there once dwelt a child.....
She wore her hair in plaits down her neck ....
She lived in a forest that was OH! so wild....

There was talk that spring of a Cougar cat roaming
round their woods....
A monster cat, seeking food...even little kids were good...
That was the view from
where her parents stood....

They told her not to leave the house.....to
only go so far....The lure of berry pie..Of
sweet and sour berries...So she walked into
the woods, deciding to be warry.


When the girl began the walk....across the wooden log
to home.....
she heard the sound of a cougar's scream and nearly
dropped her berries....She scurried across the fallen log
bridge....That scream was OH!! so scary....
She ran for Papa, She longed for brother...
And ran fast as could be.....to her little house in
the woods....Home where she was safe and free...
She never heard her brother's call.....
Sis! It's ONLY me!!!

Lucky Ducky goes for a visit....


There once was a Lucky Ducky who roamed about the world
Where ever Lucky Ducky went...Smiles began to sprout!
He was a very happy Ducky, and brought along a little note..
He held the note tightly in a ring upon his neck...It was
put there by his Creator and is there to this day....

Lucky Ducky traveled to school one day to visit Little
Dan. Dan was at a foster home. His Mama was very ill. Some
one sent him Little Duck with a note close to his "Bill"
Upon this note some one wrote.

"We love you Little Dan.
Your Mom will be home really soon. You'll be with her
soon as you can!"

Dan took "Lucky Ducky" to the Dr. Place, A hospital Big
and scary. He saw his Mom all hooked up to things
which looked big and Hairy.

He thought at first, "Mommy? This can not BE!"
She looked so small in that bed with blankets wrapped
about!

When she spyed him and her eyes lit up. He was
Glad to see. It was indeed the Mom he Loved..
It could ONLY BE!

He held her hand, Saw her smile...With in her hand
he placed his friend. He wrapped her fingers tight
around his trusted Little Ducky.

Upon his note, Wrapped in his neck band He'd written best
he could. It only Read, "I love you Mom...Hurry
home if you could!"

With this Little Dan was held up high so he could
kiss his Mom Good Bye So she could rest a while..

'Twas time to go so she could get some sleep.


Till she came home, Lucky Duck...Would lend her
a silent smile. He would remind "Mama" how much
she was loved. Someday when she was home, she
could pass him on.

No one owns Lucky Ducky, He goes where he is given!
He brings a smile, and all the while; he only says
The words that first are Written!!!
