Phyllis Babcock Poet Rhyme

Orkie a Whales Tale Part 4

Under the water Orkie dove
Into another secluded cove
He came upon some lobster traps
He bumped it and down came the flap

Inside the taps on the ocean floor
Where dozens of lobsters maybe more
They all were inside the cage
And seemed to be in a terrible rage

Hurry, mom and Aunt Bea
You must come quickly and see
I bumped the cage door
And the lobsters can't get out anymore

Mom opened her mouth and grabbed the trap
She lifted it and swung open the flap
Out toppled the lobsters big and small
Towards the ocean floor they did fall

They were happy to be free
And they thanked mom and Aunt Bea
They scurried along the ocean floor
Until Orkie could see them no more

Orkie had so many adventures at sea
Not only one , two or three
So many tales you can say
But it will have to wait for another day.

Andrea Dietrich March 22, 2011 at 10:17 PM WEll, hey, get started right away on part five, Phyllis! I enjoyed finding at least five poems of yours here to read tonight. I'm guessing maybe page 2 is all I have left to search for now. Have a good night. Now I will address all my comments since last night! LUv, Andrea

You had me going at the beginning of #4 ... smile ... What a fantastic job you've done here and good luck with the book ... !!

Carolyn Devonshire February 18, 2009 at 1:27 PM Phyllis, Wow, I loved all four "Orkie" tales and hope you will write more! You are a gifted storyteller. I was concerned when I read about the "nets." If you read, "So Long and Sorry, Charlie Tuna," you'll know why. Like yours, it is a narrative. Outstanding work! And thanks for reading "She-Demon Expelled." Best wishes, Carolyn
