Poem
Little Fanny McFluff was of eight years and so very bright She’d take a book and flashlight and read through the night She would awaken when the sun kissed her high on the brow And smile for her mother when told to milk the cow Her chores were done early, each day, before school She would run for her bus and obey every rule Her lighthearted ways brought smiles to the town For little Fanny McFluff would never sport a frown It was a warm summer day, though, that she was out and around She caught a glimpse of a rabbit and she made not a sound She hoped to then follow to see where it would go She was in for a surprise when she fell down its hole So big and so ample, its home seemed to be The rabbit turned around, surprised then to see A person, no a girl, had entered its lair So quickly it hopped and got out of there Fanny, she liked this place that she found Alone, in this hole, below solid ground She swore, with a flashlight, at night she’d come back With decorations galore, packed in a sack She prettied it up, with an old rug on the floor She brought in some dolls and still had much more Though she could not stand, she stayed on her knees She made it so pretty and minded not the tight squeeze Each day she’d return, with a warm smile on her face As she knew it was hers, it was Fanny’s secret place She’d read and she’d sing, she’d write and she’d play She’d be in that place almost every summer day But, one day a storm had come as a surprise Where water filled the hole and boy did it rise But, Fanny had her time and upset she was not She was ever so grateful for the time that she got Fanny kept that place in her mind and forever in her heart The memories will live on, forever be a part Often many days after, she would sit and recall How there in that place she would have such a ball So, Fanny, to herself locked her secret away She unlocked it fondly almost once everyday It seems that a secret place was not hard to find Fanny McFluff kept her secret place there in her mind
