The Storyteller

The storyteller wove her tales

while children shrieked with joy.

She told of ships with rainbow sails

bearing loads of toys.

--

She told of princes far away

who sailed across the seas

to see what purple dragons say

while guarding golden peas.

--

She told of princesses who flew

without the need for wings.

She told of one who turns dark blue

when magic fairies sing.

--

She told of cabbages that talk

and beets that like to dance.

She told of Aspen trees that walk

and dates that wear green pants.

--

She told of elephants who skip

and dandelions who wink.

She told of crocodiles who flip

into a silver sink.

--

She told of tiny tabby cats

whose meows could reach the moon.

She told of towers of party hats

that hummed your favorite tune.

-- She told of fuzzy teddy bears

who like to golf at night.

She told of fruits called sparkle pears

that sparkle when you bite.

--

She told of giant sticky buns.

Her stories made them grin.

She told her tales to anyone

who’d sit and listen in.
