The weather’s getting colder.I go out; it’s snow I find.Now I feel, to my surprise,that I have changed my mind.

This is a question that’s been on my mind:I have two sorts of treats, but my choice is which kind?There are some that are crunchy,and they’re really neat,but the others are chewy,and still good to eat.

When I see a good friendon the street (other side)I know enough not torun there to say hi. In between are those thingsthat are loud, fast, and smellyand dangerous, too;they could turn me to jelly. I’ve ridden inside them myselfso I knowthat they’re not really real;they can just stop and go. The humans believethat they… Continue reading
