Pippa The Posing Penguin ( chids lit )

Pippa The Posing Penguin 

Jinksy

Pippa the penguin dreamt every night
Of little sprites that weren't black or white
They usually danced and pranced
In and around her bed
Sprinkling  stardust occasionally upon her head
Then one very, very, snowy, snowy night
Pippas dream seem different real, somehow bright!
The little sprites who weren't black and white,
Sprinkled the stardust up and down and all around,
      They got all together and made Pippa laugh like a clown,
They tickled her toes,
her tail ,flippers
and then her nose
The stardust stuck and created a sensation
Pippa was a star in her snowy,snowy nation
 In her two tone world of black and white
Pippa was front page news overnight !

A Fairy Tale (Childs Lit )

A Fairy Tale 

Margaret Bednar

Marshmallow clouds in a vanilla sky 

Surround a sugar castle

The colour of cherry pie 

At it's door there stands proud, 

Unicorns who have vowed 

To protect the fairies

Who come to play 

With the buzzing bees

That dance and buzz all day. 

Within the pink sugar castle. 

A princess excitedly awaits 

Her prince charming 

To arrive for their dinner date 

Where  penguins on skates 

Serve their meal off ice crystal plates

The skinny little crickets will play their wings 

Making summer music 

While love birds chirp along and sing.

Prince charming will kneel 

Take his Princess by her delicate hand, 

He'll ask her then to be Queen in this wonderful fairy land 

The buzzing bees and fairies will dance 

While those magical unicorns will daintily prance 

In the garden of their sugar candy castle 

Found in the fluffy marshmallow clouds

Where only very, very, happy fairy tales are allowed !
