NaPoWriMo 2017-06 -- a Children's Poem for the Young

 

 

Henry and the Pansies

 

Henry was up late last night

Munching from Grandpa's pansies

 

Henry slept in this morning

Still full of Grandpa's tasties.  

Grandpa went to his garden

He'd water before the sun

He found a mess, almost cried

Now what have those rabbits done

 

Grandma said they've eaten bad

They ate most of your pansies   

Grandpa did cry knowing that

What to do, they're not candies

 

Both put their heads together

Grandma said, think I've got it

 

Grandpa wrung his hands, waiting

Waiting for Grandma, say what

 

We can build them a shelter

A nice place where they can eat

 

And come sleep, Grandpa added

Then they made a hutch for them 

 

A hangout for the bunnies

They could eat and sleep and dream

 

Henry was happy, he laughed

Grandpa laughed and Grandma smiled

 

And Grandpa's pansies were saved
