Nursery Rhyme Only Contest (with picture prompts) Sponsored by Eve Roper This will make much more sense if you click on the contest description to see the four picture prompts! :)
Old Mr.Meow says, "It's story time now! Come children and listen to me." They gather around And he set his tea down... "Where shall I begin, let me see... There once was a girl As small as a pearl And so she was named by her Dad. Unable to find A husband in kind Her father gave all that he had. So he send word To King Eggward Hoping for a reply. Although the King Was crack-brained he Was also a very sweet guy. King Eggward knew Who for the girl would do For his nephew was orange but small. He sent word back For the family to pack For a long trip in the Fall. To a land far away Called The Orchard so they Could find the Apple house there. Where his nephew the wee Lived a life full and free And the couple would make a great ‘pear.’ When they arrived To find this little orange guy a terrible tragedy befell! In the field where they went Just where the King sent, Found Only applesauce full of eggshell!
