Jacksons Walk In the Park

Jackson took a walk one day,
in the City's central park
The first thing that Jackson saw,
was a stunning meadowlark

As he sauntered down the path,
to the pretty little pond
Jackson smelled the hot dog stand,
of which he was so fond

Every time that Jackson came,
walking in the park
He knew he'd get a hot dog,
with his happy little bark

Mr. Jones the hot dog man,
would give his head a pat
and give to him a hot dog,
and tip his white chef's hat

Now that Jackson's bellies full
he went about his way
He'd get another hot dog,
when he came another day

He came upon the pretzel man,
his name was Mr. True
Who said " hello there Jackson,"
" here's a pretzel just for you"

Jackson, so enjoyed his daily walk,
in the City's central park
It's time that he was heading home,
for soon it will be dark

Now Jackson's home all safe and sound,
and snuggled in his bed
with visions of a hot dog,
dancing in his head.

Delightful, Richard! Children have visions of sugarplums "dancing" in their heads, but sweet little Jackson's dream was of a tasty hot dog. If dogs do dream, this is surely what goes through their minds. A fun read! Clever and probably right on target. Much love, Carolyn

Love the humor in this one. Jackson really gets around and enjoys the same thing that I do well not everything for we know some more things that he loves that I don't. Keep the magical and creative pen flowing. Thanks for the kind comments on my work "Gifted and Blessed My Song". Sara
