Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Happy Herbie

One for the kiddies or kiddies at heart!




There's a bunch of furry animals

Running around our house

Cats and dogs and ferrets

And even a little mouse!

Now Mom and Dad aren't happy

With mousies running wild

But we love our cute little furry friends

They bring us lots of smiles!

Our mousie plays a pretty fine fiddle

That big folks cannot hear

Unaware of those real happy tunes

Dancing in their ears!

I've named him Happy Herbie

He brings me so much joy

It's hard to think he's really real

He seems like just a toy!

Don't think I want to ever grow up

And lose this special gift

Seeing things through little eyes

In a kiddies world I'm adrift

Dan Helppi November 11, 2014 at 10:38 AM I read this to my kids, (we have a snow day here), and my son Will wants you to write one about a fat cat! They liked this one, Thanks. Dan Helppi November 11, 2014 at 4:21 PM His name is Will...and he is a character, seven years old and he uses words like "particularly." He is fired up and smiling.

It's Veterns Day here so Dragon and I wrote him a going away poem called 'Flaming Son'. Tomorrow Dragon and I will be off to find some more episodes... perhaps we have a little furry friend running around here, too... Here Mousie... Here Mousie... Darn another mole came running ... and with his family... No Less... Oh well... The more the errier I always say!... LOL Jack Ellison November 11, 2014 at 10:55 AM Best of luck to Casey... I'm sure he will be okay! All my things are crossed! Huggsies XXX
