The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Meadow Song

Daisies dance and willows sway
As Cottontail and Beaver play
A tappy, happy, tree-root beat.
"But wait! Our band is incomplete ..."
"We need some singers!"
Robin comes.
"And banjo-stringers!"
Squirrel strums.
More creatures hum and play along,
Till all the meadow blooms in song.
