Helen Meets the Cloud Guys

HELEN MEETS THE CLOUD GUYS “I saw it! Did you see?” “Where?” she says to me. “In the sky . . .in the clouds I saw A great fat curly dinosaur. . . See the hills, the monsters, the feathers, the ice cream?” She says, “You mean like in a dream?” “Kinda, they’re all in disguise And you gotta find ‘em in the skies.” Ok, I got it now - she laughs and sighs “The guys in disguise in the skies” I laughs and says, “Hel, it’s a prob when you’re three, But it’s easy when you’re thirty three.” She looks at me and at the sky - “When we go home for tea and apple pie Please will you tell me a story out loud About those feathery monsters in the cloud?” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( Another tale of my darling daughter when she was three ) Written by Sydney Peck for G. Rix's Contest Dr. Seuss is On the Loose
