The other day
mind you
it was not even May
when
the forest folks
heard
a Phoebe sing.



The flies
were still asleep
but
the grayish brown
and
yellow white
flycatcher
with her feverish
singing
made the forest bells
ringing.



Oh,
what a lovely thing
she was.
Ponies began prancing
and
wolves started dancing.
The whole forest
suddenly
came alive
with garden gnomes
and
leprechauns skipping
around
a buzzing beehive.



Frolicking
fairies fluttered from
flower to flower
sprinkling
magic dust powder.
Bears
foxes and raccons
played
thundering tunes
on a tum... tum... tum
awesome drum



Sleepy owls
astound
tumbled out of the nest
and
came to rest
on the forest's needled
floor
next to a squirrel family's
tree house door
who were busily stacking
their
acorn pile.



This little squirrel family
became irate
and
went on a wild chase.
Thus
in a rush
the forest was
quiet again,
luckily
no one was slain.



Oh,
what a thrilling day
it was
the other day
and
it was not even
May !
