Who Has Seen the Wind


The wind blew through the wood
enjoying the quiet and views,
and then it began whispering -
spreading the latest news:

That nice family of squirrls
got into an awful fight
with a terribly loud owl
who kept them up all night.

There was a big collision
and two birds got a fright,
so there's now a new rule -
no flying at night.

And that sweet brown bear?
he was eating so much honey
that the bees have decided
to start charging him money.

There were more daffodils
blooming every day,
and the wind was pleased to report
another sunny day.

The old Oak had enough
of the wind bending their ear -
"you have to quiet down,
you're the worst gossip here."



Featured: pinata dolls made of
recycled plastic bottles and silk paper.
They are, of course, full 
of candy and little treats.
