Hans Christian Anderson, is smiling down upon you today! Excellent work...Virtually flawless metre....solidly crisp yet smooth structural command. You, young lady & your quasi-diverse poetic largess, never, ever cease to impress & pleasure my literary senses. ~ FjR ~ .2008..

A delightful children's poem that grownups will adore. Lyrical and lively and what a great moral too. I'd love to see it illustrated. Maurice Sendak would draw it to perfection. Wonderful poem. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
