skonen_bladesShe had all her toys in her little red wagon
And her favorite one was her purple sock dragon
She had a pink zebra, a yellow gazelle,
A polka-dot fluffy gorilla as well,
A cat that meowed, a dog with no tail,
A hammerhead shark, a huge, fuzzy whale
A tiger so old it belonged to her dad
And also a seal that her mommy once had
A lion now missing a half of its mane
And one mangy bunny she found in the rain
The toys were all squished in the wagon with care
And Bernadette Anderson gave them some air
She took all her animals out for a walk
A pull in the wagon around her whole block
It took a long time and she walked very slow
For animals like a nice walk, don’t you know
She listened to birds and the sounds of her ‘hood
A nice sunny day and her toys. She felt good.
The sidewalk, uneven, had ridges and bumps
The toys were all jostled with jiggles and thumps
They shifted and flopped as the sidewalk went by
And Bernadette smiled and let out a sigh
But one special toy softly fell from her wagon
Her favorite toy. The purple sock dragon.
When she got home and she took them all out
She realized that one was gone with a shout
It wasn’t just any old toy that she’s lost
Her favorite, the dragon! It must have been tossed!
She asked her parents if she could go look
And search for her dragon before someone took
It and gave it a new different home far away
Her parents both thought and they said “okay”
They searched the whole sidewalk, they searched in the park
But they didn’t find him and now it was dark
With tears in her eyes and a heavy, sad head
They all went back home and then she went to bed
In the morning she slowly walked out of her room
Thinking of dragon out there in the gloom
Scared in the dark with no person to hug
No one to squeeze him to feel warm and snug
When there in the kitchen! Her parents! Asleep!
Snoring so loudly and dreaming so deep.
Wearing the clothes that they had on before
AND PURPLE SOCK DRAGON NEAR THEM ON THE FLOOR!
She rushed with a scream and she scooped him up quick
Her parents both woke with a jerk and a flick
They’d took turns all night just to find her old toy
And Bernadette Anderson hugged him with joy
