Wordsworth the bookworm and mousy

[Artemis]

He lives in an old Victorian house.
His very best friend is a little mouse.
When the humans who live there are fast asleep,
the two of them would gently creep
into the library and way up high
then climb the books that reached the sky!
Wordsworth could read so very well
so he’d pick a book, show mousy and tell
Which adventure he’d like tonight
And mousy agreed so they'd hold on tight.
Wordsworth nibbled a bit off the cover
now tonights adventure they'd soon discover
The books let them inside with magical powers
Down, right down amongst dragons and towers.
It could be a fairytale or something quite funny
Once they landed in Pooh’s jar of honey!
Every night was something new.
friends together on adventures these two.
They'd get up to mischief all through the night
But they soon came home as it began to get light.
So if you see nibbles inside your book
You’ll know where Wordsworth and Mousy snook.

This is a very nice poem; not lurid or angry or depressed. I'm not too happy about rodents munching on books, but I like the innocent spin. Very good.

yes I love this, great picture too, i like the thought of them ploughing through the library on different advetures.

very cute Kerry, I think I've heard of Wordsworth before, didn't he write some poetry too?

Loved this tale, it shows how we can loose ourselves in adventures by just picking up a book and turning pages.

smart little bookworm he is, but I don't think I will play any trivia games against him for fear of loosing to a worm and a mouse..

keep your pen handy my friend, you have such a gift.

Most think I'm silly, but I love reading childrens' stories as a way to relax, de-stress, and reconnect with my inner self. I just love them. Take me to the library and I will be one beside the children sitting on the beanbag chair reading Dr. Seuss, lol. Exalt, Kerry. This was brilliant

This was a lot of fun to read. I got a little Dr. Seuss and some Shel Silverstein out of it, quite the juxtaposition. Though I can't imagine letting them loose on the whole library as Foggy says. What a crime!! What adorable personality you give the charactes here as well. A joy to read!

I actuall started to write a childrens book about Wordsworth about 10 years ago. It was never finished of course, that just wouldn't be me lol ... but you never know. Thank you so much for the lovely comments, Kerry xx
