New Found Friends

Valias was a black nosed sheep

who couldn't grow her horns

The hollow parts let out the heat

so, she wore a hat to keep her warm

*

She stood out in the meadow

catching snowflakes on her tongue

Playing with Al, the armadillo

building snowmen, having fun

*

One day while on the playground

a ram named Wally, snatched her cap

He knocked her to the ground

onto Hermie, a hermit crab

*

Hermie the hermit, cried for help

he pinched and kicked his feet

This made Valais scream and yelp

creating quite a scene

*

When she and Hermie both got up

they gave Wally quite the glare

But he pretended to be tough

and acted like he didn't care.

*

He threw the cap down at her feet

and ran away, back home

Crying out loud, down the street

hoping no-one else would know

*

But Valais knew just how he felt

and showed up at his door

She told Wally they could be friends

like they had been, before

*

The next day Valais came to school

with three wool caps to make amends

One for Wally, Hermie and little Al

that she’d made specially for friends
