Just Imagine - Introduction to the other 15 Children's Stories: |
 | The Sunfish
With just one wish
I'd be a fish
and swim out to the sea.
No whale or shark or octopus
would ever frighten me. |  | Slow Down
I was moving at a snail's pace,
of course I am a snail,
when a hot shot clam sped by me
and left me in its trail. |
 | The Polar Bear in Underwear
In a region of the Artic,
where the air is very cold
one polar bear wears underwear.
A move which is quite bold! |  | There's More to Me Than That
I'm a little flabby!
OK! OK! I'm fat-
but even though there's a lot of me
there's more to me than that! |
 | The Lady in the Moon
There's a lady in the moon, you know,
who has held her portrait pose
for one hundred fifty thousand years
or longer I suppose. |  | The Wise Old Tree
I was resting in the forest
with my back against a tree
when the tree began to whisper
"Listen, please to me." |
 | Fishing Buddies
One sunny day in late July
I was fishing from my boat.
With rod in hand and worm on hook,
My bobber was afloat. |  | Stars in a Jar
The Big Dipper,
as a joke I think,
scooped up all the stars
and bottled them quite neatly
in one humongous jar! |
 | Timmm-ber
The silence of the forest
was broken with a roar
when a maple tree,
whose time had come,
fell and stood no more. |  | The Slick Dill Pickle
There was once a slick dill pickle,
floating in a jar.
When I tried to spear it,
it let out with a rar!!!
(that's picklish for roar) |
 | I am Simply Me!
While walking through the woods one day,
I heard the rustling leaves.
I looked around and saw, at least,
a thousand different trees! |  | Pass it On
I gave a smile to a friend
hoping that this friend would send
the smile to another friend
who would send it on its way.
Thus my smile would continue on
and know no end this day. |
 | The Sunbather
I was sitting on a log one day,
the sun warm upon my shell.
When two humans paddled by me
and broke my sleepy spell! |  | Star Gazer
Sometimes at night when I can't sleep,
I cast my eyes upon the heap
of stars that seem to wink and peep
so distant in the darkness deep. |
 | Clouds
I snatched a cloud down from the sky
and asked it all the reasons why
it liked to rain and block the sun
which did not seem like any fun
to me! |
