Picking Flowers

by Bill Schott

We were walking in the forest
Picking flowers for the florist
When there appeared a jelly giant
Looking for a candy client

"Cooze me, vellas," be began
"wookin' foda Cookie Man."
"We ain't seen 'im," I returned
You think that I will ever learn?

Never speak to woodland creatures
Especially with jelly features
Now we've a gelatinous giant
With whom we were not compliant

"Cookie Man!" the gel Joe screamed
"Wake me fwum dis cookie dweam!"
Then he smashed my good friend Finn
A crushing slush slap did him in

I turned to make a hasty flight
But jelly fingers held me tight
"Wait!" I gasped and spun to speak
"I am the Cookie Man (you freak)"

The mega-gelatin man froze
A snot of syrup filled his nose
His mouth agape he slowly said
"I wanna wake now, in my bed."

"Run," I thundered, "to the falls."
"Disregard NO DIVING laws
launch yourself into the torrent
and you soon will awake I warrant."

The behemoth grinned and left
Ran to the falls, leapt to its death
Got back to town, taking hours
Dragging Finn and picking flowers.
