Contest Entry: Children's Poem
When We Were Once Five
by Mrs. KT
Suppose Mother Goose and Dr. Seuss had never graced our lives, our children's lives, their children's lives...(Please read aloud)
<<<~~~>>> Suppose...Suppose... Suppose there was no Man in the Moon Or no little Dish ran away with the Spoon Suppose we'd never met Jack or Jill, Would anyone care to roll down a Hill? Suppose Humpty-Dumpty never sat on a Wall Or Thumbelina grew very tall Suppose Jack Sprat only dined on fat What would his Wife have thought about that? Suppose the Old Woman never lived in a Shoe Or there was no Horn for Little Boy Blue Suppose dear Horton never heard a Who Would we see Whoville as we do? Suppose there was no Cat in the Hat And we never learned where Miss Muffet sat Suppose no one knew of Fairy Dust How would Dreaming have become a Must? Suppose...suppose... If not for the gift of all of these Would we ever say "Thank You" and "Please?" Would we dare to wish upon stars at night? Could we recite poems that thrill and delight? Would we know what it's like to feel loved and alive? Would we remember when we were once five? <<<~~~>>> |
