Nursery Rhyme Children's Short story (Rhyme) Little Ellie, loves her freckles she counts them every night, her friends call her 'Ellie speckles' which fills her with delight! she traces them with her finger before she rests her head in the mirror, she lingers dallying if the truth be said, little Ellie, loves her freckles she bathes them every night, her friends call her 'Ellie speckles' which fills her with delight! this night was like no other, she froze in utter despair screaming down to her mother who came running up the stairs, little Ellie, loves her freckles she reads to them, every night her friends call her 'Ellie speckles' which fills her with delight! vanished had Ellie's freckles She had washed them off again ~ still wanting to be 'Ellie Speckles' she drew them back with a pen

"she drew them, back on with a pen" :) That's one way to do it. This is cute, clever and so creative. Your thoughts bring a smile. Congratulations Joanna, on this win. I am saving this in my favorites. :) Brandy
