Mary Had A Little Lamb Poem by Diana van den Berg

Diana has two little lambs,
the fleece of the one that meows
is as tortoise-shell as
...er, well, tortoise-shells;
and the fleece of the one that barks
is as brown and black and white as
brown and black and white.

Thank you Flicka, Tigger and Daisy,
for the precious, beautiful fur-babies
you sent me.
You chose perfectly.
Cleo and Benji have my heart,
along with all of you, of course,
and I know that makes you
whinny, purr and bark joyously
for I see it daily
in your exquisite sky-art messages.
