Notes About The Poem

Ellie's Freckles

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
