Rachel's Confectionary Ball
On a beautiful dark chocolate night
A white chocolate moon appeared quite bright.
Rachel chose a fudge-colored gown
With a matching fudge-colored crown.
She rode her bike to the hot cocoa ball
That the new queen held in a hot cocoa hall.
She danced the tango on the mint brownie floor
When the ball was over, it was half past four.
Exhausted from dancing, she collapsed into a heap
On marshmallow pillows, then soon fell asleep.
With a smile on her face, she began to dream
Of dancing the tango and coffee ice cream.

Robin's New Home
Robin marched with great aplomb
To the beat of a different drum.
She lived alone in a discarded tent
With no complaining neighbors or high rent.
God gave her clothes that suited her best;
Black polka dots and a red satin vest.
With plans to move she packed up her goods,
And found a spot in the back of the woods.
She adopted a cricket, a termite, and a bee;
They built their home at the top of a tree.
She brought a small pillow, a blanket, and a quilt,
And they lived together in the house that she built.
