JOLLY'S TENT



'The Tent'  by  Trish

 Jolly spends Saturday afternoons going in and out,

Of his tent, which is small, but room enough.

He paints patterns on the outside, while inside he lays about.

If his friend Bouncer has time to come over and play,

Then that makes the tent even more special,

In fact Jolly feels a bit lonely, Bouncer his best friend has gone away.

But his mother told Jolly's dad, Bouncer will be home soon

He won't be able to play outside for a while, he has to take it easy and rest,

He can sit at his window and wave, or talk on the telephone, that is now in his room.

The warm days were fading fast, and Bouncer was on the mend

Jolly waved and talked on the phone, but it just wasn't the same,
One Saturday, to Jolly's joy, came a code tapped on his tent door, it was bouncer his best friend.
