'Stranger Danger'


It's Jingle Poetry at the Gooseberry Garden Poetry Picnic!  The theme is children's s stories, riddles, counting songs, and rhyming lyrics for young (and young at heart) kids!

Here's my response.  A scary story with a happy ending.


'Stranger Danger'

Hey there kid, how do you do?
Come away, just me and you?
Hey there fella, grab my hand,
Come with me to fairyland?

Hey there mister, off you go!
I’m not coming, no, no, no!
Life in the wild is my thing,
I don’t need your circus ring!

I’m an elephant, take that!
And you made me mad, so scat!






Live for the Love of it,
The Happy Amateur
