The Day Roald Dahl Met Beatrix Potter...The Tail Of The Curious Mouse Poem by Shaun Cronick

When Roald Dahl was a young boy,
His favourite storyteller he did meet.
Beatrix Potter is her timeless name,
From that moment on swept off his feet.

Her great influence she did impress,
For a young Roald he started to write.
Remembering what she did say to him,
That keen imagination shines so bright.

Many years later that boy now a man,
Putting into practice what he was told.
And thanks to Beatrix's words of wisdom,
His imagination enchant's young and old.


This is true Roald Dahl did meet with Beatrix Potter,
When he was just six years old and the rest is history.
Enchanted and imaginative shared storytelling history for all.
