Growing up my dad gave me the nickname "Charlie Doots" it stuck with me throughout the years and to this day some of my firends and siblings still stay that to me!

Charlie Doots was a curly-haired boy He always played with his favorite toy All the boys and girls would always laugh Because Charlie always played with his blue giraffe One day he brought his blue giraffe to school And his teacher said- Charlie, we have a rule There are no toys allowed in our class Especially Charlie Doots, a blue giraffe Charlie said- "But teacher, my giraffe can dance" The Children laughed so hard they almost peed their pants Because they saw the blue giraffe waltzing across the floor And so, the children didn't laugh at Charlie Doots no more!

Hello Charles, Your poem brought the biggest grin to my face “Charlie Doots” and that legendary blue giraffe feel like instant icons! There’s so much heart and playfulness in your story, and I love how you turn a simple nickname and a favorite toy into a triumphant moment. Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
