In a Story Book

In a story book, I got stuck and couldn’t find a way to break free. What a lousy day, just my luck! Wondered why this happened to ME! I looked for little Alice, she wouldn't show me her window – dumbstruck! Jack Horner, he could not believe in a story book, I got stuck. I looked all around and snuck a brief word with the fairies three. They tried to raise a pumpkin truck and couldn’t find a way to break free. With all my might and self-esprit I began to huff, puff, and cluck. What could I do stuck on page three? What a lousy day, just my luck! What a mess was this stinking muck. Aha! I’d find Humpty Dumpty! He was cracked, but not a schmuck. Wondered why this happened to ME! Humpty cheered when hearing my plea He was looking to gain a buck. No wallet, we two couldn’t agree, so I am still running amuck in a story book.

LOL. I wrote a couple of them and decided the others were too dark and heavy. I like laughter and fun. You know, keep 'em guessing, leave 'em laughing...
