The Pagan and the Marble

Once upon a time…
there was a Pagan and a Marble
It was no regular thing
as it was something to Marval

As it journeyed across the ocean to reach her
It was named Transcontinental
It was bright and shiny and sparkly
Like new fillings crafted from a dental

She used her witchcraft to make it a thing
her cats enjoyed to play with
They would bat it and roll it
and spin it in a drift 

But when she played the game of marbles
Transcontinental was the best
As it would leave the circle 
Upon the shooter giving it heavy jest

The Pagan loved this marble
because it was gifted from a friend
And for the fun she’d would have with it
Never seemed to end

This is a very nice poem about Transcontinental Robert. My favourite line is the dental one. My cats will love playing with the marbles I bet. The Pagan and The Marble is so much better than The Princess and The Pea.👏🏻🔥
