Poem
Saddie was alone.
The only child in a family who did not like children.
It was tough at first, but when she turned three, she 
Discovered a magic tunnel beneath the underside of her mattress.
She could get to it if she slid 
under the bed, and
Yelled, “I love this bed!”
This is how she
Accidentally discovered
Fantab-ulific-land. 
FUL for short.

FUL had gobs of interesting things to
Do. You could play monopoly with the
Gorillas, but if they won, they always gave 
You a slobbery open-mouthed kiss, so Saddie
Had only done this once.  

FUL was a place where you could eat chocolate
Peppermint cookie ice cream, until your belly
Ached, so Saddie only did that once too.
FUL was rapidly changing according to the
Child’s taste.  In the beginning, there were preschool
Type activities – playdough, aluminum foil crowns,


But as Saddie got older, FUL got older.
Preschool activities were rapidly replaced with
Bike rides down an enormous hill. At the bottom
Stood Mr. Semi, a truck that loaded all of the bikes
Into his box, and took them back up the hill for you.

At FUL, this is how you got back to the top of the
Hill.  Winged monkeys snatched you up, letting
You scream and shriek, and act horrified.
They delighted you with silly jokes, finally
Dumping you onto a silver trampoline
Next to your bike.  FUL was the most
Interesting, exciting place in the world
For a child.

Saddie had been warned by FUL that if she ever
Told anybody about FUL, FUL would disappear.
So she kept FUL to herself until her own children
Thought they had monsters under their bed.
Then she told them the stories about FUL,
And her own children began sliding under their
Beds, and yelling, “I love this bed!”
As far as I know, two of her children
Never found FUL, and the other
Child has been missing
Since his last slide
Under 
The
Bed.
