A Little Goats Dream Nursery Rhyme

Once a little goat with a small horn,
Wanted to become a unicorn,
She wished and she wished every night
And prayed and prayed, it might
Come true, I want to wish on a star,
So the next night they saw one far,
But although so bright
Gave off little light.
Look mummy at that grass over there,
Please don’t stare,
For they might run away, fairies
Right next to the bush with berries
I’m going to send them a whisper
Mummy kissed her, ooh your whisker
Tickles mummy, suddenly three
Fairies flew by her side what do you
Wish for most, as you are of the few
That never asks, whatever you wish,
I want to be a unicorn, please
They waved their wands with ease,
There stood the prettiest pink unicorn, 
Gone was the small horn,
Replaced by a twirly one,
The little goat girl now an awesome unicorn,
Her star sign remained Capricorn.
She had a fluffy mane
And her eyes were blue, insane.
Oh fairies I love you so much
Your wands and their magic touch,
What can I do for you.
and you and you,
Listen to your parents and be a good girl,
And thus your mane will always curl!
HURRAY

My dear Ani,I have thought about you often and visited your page but nothing, so I presumed you are busy studying. When I finished school I wanted to go to University but my Dad said, he knew me well, its the boys you are going after Jennifer, when you are older. Forgot all about studies until I got to 43 and then with a child who was about to go to High School suddenly decided to study so took and passed my BA , majors Sociology and the History of the Bible, and then my Honours in the Spirituality of the Bible, so I studied for two degrees and graduated with the 2nd degree when I was 48, and then met up with my old boyfriend who we were going out with in our early twenties and we got married. He was my destiny - Elias is a wonderful Husband. Love and hugs, Jennifer.

WoW! Jennifer, I really enjoyed your “ nursery rhyme” poem. I found it clever and creative. It was such an engaging story; I think it will hold the little one's attention—unicorns and fairies are great characters in children's stories—good rhymes and content. My sister probably would have liked it growing up; she's a Capricorn. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day, my friend from across the pond:-) Alexis
