“Moose In The Middle”

Series #2 Book #9: by Ray Perseghin, Sara K Enterprises, ©All Rights Reserved

The snowman knows it won’t be long

‘Til all his playing friends are gone.

But on this bright and chilly day

They must decide just where to play.

Moose said,”Let’s walk down toward the town.”

Bears said,”Well not if we’re around.”

Then walrus said,”Let’s try the sea.”

As penguins said,”Let’s just run free.”

No one agreed on where to play,

So they all sat there on this day.

Moose said,”Sitting here is no fun,

And arguing gets nothing done.

So, I am going for a walk.

When I return we all can talk.”

Then moose just left them in the snow,

As he walked with nowhere to go.

And all the friends did just the same,

And did not talk about their games.

The walrus slid down to the shore,

Where he had sat alone before.

The penguins waddled to and fro,

With nowhere special they could go.

The bears just left to catch some fish,

But they knew, if they had one wish,

That it would be to go and play

With all their other friends this day.

And as the geese were flying high,

The friends all saw them in the sky.

The snowman looked and saw them too,

But there was nothing he could do.

When moose looked up and saw the geese

Flying so high above the trees

He yelled,”Hey guys this will not work.

I think we all are being jerks.

Go tell the gang to come back now.

We have to settle this somehow.”

So moose went back to meet snowman,

And two geese flew fast as they can.

First, walrus joined moose sliding low,

As penguins waddled through the snow.

Four friends now joined plus snowman too,

But where the bears were no one knew.

Then geese yelled out,”Hey! Here they come.

We can see them as they run,”

Nine friends, plus snowman, that makes ten.

All of the friends were back again.

And moose just said,”OK! Don’t shout.

We have to work this problem out.

To settle this, let’s make a plan.

And then agree, if we all can.”

Then geese said,”Let’s all pick one day

As our turn to say where to play.”

Moose said,”Yes, then we all will learn

How to agree and take our turn.”

So there was peace among the friends.

And snowman’s smile returned again.
