Cece

It was on a Monday morning that Cece woke up in despair,
when she discovered that all of her cupboards were bare.
And though she was dying for even a small snack,
not a morsel was to be found in her little shack. So she donned her kerchief and set off down the road,
Only pausing for a second to bid goodbye to her friend toad, The market was her destination for that day,
but the sky quickly grew dark, and the clouds turned gray. She sought the shelter of a nearby leaf,
and was quite delighted at what she found underneath. It was a caterpillar looking quite yummy,
the perfect thing for her very hungry tummy! "Ahem, how do you do, Miss Chick-a-dee!"
"Oh excuse me, Mr. Caterpillar, were you talking to me?" "Why, yes. I'd love to introduce myself to you.
Salutations and greetings, please call me Lou." "It's nice to meet you Lou, my name is Cece.
but I have to say you're looking rather tasty!" "Oh, Miss Cece, I beg you, please don't eat me.
I just signed a mortgage on a brand new tree."

"Besides, don't you know? Caterpillars taste bad,
I promise that if you ate me, your outlook would be sad."

"And really you look like a compassionate chick,
wouldn't you rather leave me alone on my stick?'

As much as Cece tried to see it from Lou's view,
she couldn't help but think of caterpillar stew.

So dear readers, I ask you, did Lou and Cece become friends?
or did the caterpillar never see the chick grow up to be a hen?

i didn't notice on my first looky-loo over at flickr, but i love how cece's wings are attached with buttons and there's pink polka-dotted fabric underneath. it's all in the details!

and, your other commenters are right: you should write + create a picture book. i'd totally buy it.
