The Sleeping Tree

in the afternoon in the woods of prey
slept an owl, a dragon, and a bear named Ray
A squirrel and a boy came along this way
They were soon snoozing as was a girl named Fay

A fawn could not help it, she soon closed her eyes and lay
next to the sleeping tree on that snoozy whoozy windy day
a wily rabbit stopped hopping, and decided to stay
it was the best sleeping tree in the woods of prey

This poem was dreamy..No pun intended. I enjoyed your decription of the day. "snoozy, whoozy, windy day" Your poem makes me think of a shakespere play called Mid Summer Night's Dream with a character named Puck. A mischievous fairy who would want to sneak under your sleeping tree to play a trick on the others, but be chased away by the dragon. I'm loved reading this one, especially outloud. :) A cutie.
