BARGE
BOAT
FLOAT

A barge drifts along,
Gentle waves beneath it sway,
A quiet boat floats,
Sunset paints the sky in gold,
Whispers of the river’s song.

ROOST

HOOT

Ryan the Rooster

Ryan the rooster with brave, bold eyes.
He didn’t give a hoot about what others said,
With dreams of boosting his words up ahead.

He strutted and crowed, with a voice loud and bright,
Sharing his stories from morning till night.
But amid all the clamor, a lesson rang true,
You can’t force belief, it must find its own view.

So, he learned to embrace both the quiet and loud,
Finding joy in his journey and standing out proud.
For in the hearts of the dreamers, his message took flight,
In the dance of opinions, he shone his own light.

RUMBLE

The Sweetest Crumb

In the quiet of the day, there’s a rumble in my tummy,
For I am hungry, but alas, there is not a crumb to be found,
No cookies or treats, just an empty, gnawing grumble,
Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I see something round.

A tiny crumble of cookie, oh, what a sight!
It glistens like treasure, just waiting for me,
But wait! I’m not alone in this sweet little plight,
For my sister spies it too, and now there’s a spree.

We tumble and roll in a rush to the prize,
A playful scuffle ensues, laughter and squeals,
With every twist and turn, we both reach for the size,
That tiny crumb of delight that our hunger reveals.

In this chaotic dance, we giggle and tease,
The cookie piece gleams as it teeters away,
But amidst all the tussle, we find a sweet ease,
For sharing the moments that brighten the day.

At last, we settle down, the treat in our hand,
Together we break it, a crumb for each bite,
No need for the rumble, we understand,
In moments like these, everything feels just right.

The Elf Holiday Mix-Up

Oh, dear, the elves made an error,
Instead of wrapping the gifts, they warped them,
Instead of being put in the sled, they cling,
Oh, whatever shall we do? Let’s solve this thing!

Christmas Eve is here, we must act fast,
To fix this mix-up, we can’t let it last.
For joy must fill the night, with laughter and cheer,
We’ll work together, the magic is near!

With nimble fingers and hearts so bright,
We’ll gather the gifts and set things right.
For the children’s smiles we hold dear,
This night of wonder, let’s bring them cheer!

Navigating the Unknown


Oh dear!
I am lost, I cannot tell north from south,
Or east or west, my mind’s a tangled mouth.
With the utmost determination, I tread,
Through shadows of doubt, where my heart has led.

In a colony on a sunny day,
Riders laughed and danced in a playful way.
At the outpost, beets grew big and round,
While pies flew high, landing with a sound!

“Look out, Felicity, here comes a treat!”
The riders cheered, “What a silly feat!”
In this joyful place, with smiles so true,
Every day’s a blast—just wait, you’ll see too!

PIPE
PEEP
PEER

In a village bright with joy and cheer,
The Pied Piper and his friend drew near.
They piped a tune that floated on air,
A melody sweet that banished all care.

With eyes wide, they’d peep at treasures untold,
Glittering gems and tales of old.
Each glance and each giggle, they’d peer through the night,
Where dreams danced and shimmered, basking in light.

In hopes of a basin, where he could make waves!

TINSEL
GLITTER
GOWN

Sally was up for a prestigious award,
A moment of glory that she truly adored.
The ceremony beckoned, all dressed in black tie,
Excitement and nerves danced, like stars in the sky.

She needed a gown that would suit the grand night,
One that shimmered and glowed, a true vision of light.
Through countless stores, she wandered and searched,
But nothing enchanted, her hopes slightly perched.

Then, on the day of the event, her heart took a chance,
A gown in a tinsel color—oh, what a glance!
With each step she took as she slipped it on,
She glittered and sparkled; her worries were gone.

Right away, she knew, this was the dress,
A stunning reflection of beauty and finesse.
She’d be the hit of the ceremony, without a doubt,
In a world full of whispers, her joy would shout.

So, off to the gala, with dreams shining bright,
Sally stepped forth, ready to dazzle the night.
With laughter and cheers, the moment drew near,
In that tinsel gown, she conquered her fear.
