fantastical story for kids
Mushroom elf threw his cap into the air
It landed on green ferns without a care
Old Kansas fox looked up from his nap in the lair
Tiny giggle escaped from mum faerie fair
Cap was grabbed up by a mean gnome named Jair
Jair was scooped up by a growly grizzly bear
Bear painted the cap blue and gray on

A MODERN FRIGHT
A modern fright
must be polite,
and never cause a wound.
A modern boo
must be thought through,
and always auto-tuned.
A modern bat
should not attack
without a horror song.
A modern ghoul
would look a fool
without some make-up on.
A modern bone
must have its phone
when it lies on the ground.
A modern snake
demands milkshakes
before it slithers round.
A new elf sent
will carry scent
in case it passes

Creativity a Rime For Kids
There was a naughty boy
And a naughty boy was he
For nothing would he do
but scribble poetry:
he took up his pen
again&again
with never a doubt
inside his head
ideas did shout
Why was this so
No-one did know
For like Topsy
they just seemed to grow!

Treats For Kids
Before us lies a week of tricks or treats.
But I beckon you to join me in a time of treats.
Kids are presently tricked more and treated less.
In a season giving rise and unfolding evils yet untold,
May we extend to kids bags of sweets with no bitterness.
And we pray that God will hold back the curtain

2-D and 3-D Shapes , Song For Kids
Let’s all learn the 2-D shapes
2-D shapes, 2-D shapes
Let’s all learn the 2-D shapes
They have width and length.
2-D shapes are flat and thin
Flat and thin, flat and thin
2-D shapes are flat and thin
On papers…we can draw.
Let’s all learn the 3-D shapes
3-D shapes, 3-D shapes
Let’s all learn the 3-D shapes
With length, width and height.
3-D shapes are

Protest of the Root People
The root people were gearing up for war.
They had their swords and axes out.
They were heading toward the store,
Where a rude man had been a lout.
We are taking all our kin home, they said.
You will have no more turnips or produce.
I stood back and watched the mandrakes
As they let their tempers loose.
The shopkeeper was sorry,

Teeth Take To the Streets
My teeth walked down the stairs today
Molar stepped on aluminum and I yelled “hey!”
They were rioting to protest the new floss.
I rolled my eyes; after all, I am the boss!
My mouth tried to speak but nothing came out
Not whisper, a gurgle, a cough or a shout.
My teeth snickered; a sassy incisor cheered.
They were gaining momentum

Robin Love
He gave a squawk. She gave a shriek.
He blinked a blink. She winked a wink.
Love in the making on a warm summer’s day.
Flirtation baking as these smitten robins flew away.

Chatty Raccoon Crashes Party
A chatty raccoon in a plaid racing cap
Crashed our party with a lighting zap.
Showed our guests a brand new computer app.
An intelligent creature, quite a lovely chap.
Some partygoers danced on his fluffy lap.
Landing hard on the floor, a hearty whap.
If they annoy you, I said, give ‘em a slap.
This advice caused him to laugh and
