As I sat in my study this morning

Wondering what sort of writing to do,

Dinky popped her head in the doorway

Fully covered in some sort of goo…

I looked over her shoulder to the yard just beyond

Seeing all my baby creatures running for the pond,

Squagon found the pie I’d left on the stoop,

He jumped in its middle, handing everyone a scoop…

No sooner had they eaten their ill gotten gains,

They looked at each other and saw the stains,

Dinky thought to find me and see what could be done,

But Squagon promised that the pond would be more fun…

After all of the bathing and splashing was done,

I sat down with all the babies to dry off in the sun,

I know you may think I should have tucked the pie away,

But if my barnyard babies hadn’t made a crazy mess,

I might not have had anything to write for you today!
