Green or Blue?

A black cat looks
for any boy
who will walk with
him

or take him
home.

“I will,” said Joey

MEOW
answered the cat.

Both wished for
a friend
and
now each has one

BIG SMILES.

A brown
can
full of cookies
is a reward.

Or an orange
can be
a new wish

and do good
work
at school.

See the purple
sky

and brown mud
on the
ocean shore.

Let us
find clams every
day
and laugh

when they spray
green
water
on the beach.

We put
blue
in our other
wish

and five geese
soon fly.
