Boe the Eskimo
There is a little Eskimo named Boe He loves to play on the ice and the snow One day as he played on the ice, it cracked Boe, in shock knew the odds against him were stacked. Along came a kindly turtle called Jack He said "I'll show the way, climb on my back" So Boe jumped on board and off the two zoomed What adventures they had as their friendship bloomed. Boe saw sea creatures he'd not seen before Marine plants aglow on the ocean floor They danced with dolphins who move gracefully Twisting and turning to sounds of the sea. Then they spied large sharks coming at full speed Both of them were awfully scared indeed Their two hearts beating alike frenzied drums Afraid of finishing up in sharks tums. Suddenly Boe awoke from a dream Ma and pa rushed in when they'd heard Boe scream Boe said from now he'd do as he was told When out playing on ice, he'd not be so bold.

Honored to have stopped here to read about an Unforgettable Eskimo. I like the AABB format but it never comes off forced. Your words flow naturally and adults of all ages will love your adventures. I place this treasure in the read ten times category. I only wish you would have rhymed the last line as you did to keep your scheme going as opposed to the slant rhyme. Still a beautiful story.. Goodnight Jack and Boe..See you in dreams
