The Funny Hats

I wrote this little story one day at work two summers ago. Its funny how the story is a lot better then the illustrations I have for it, shouldn't it be the other way around?


One nice day,
In funny hat town,
The funny hat people,
Started dancing around.

The danced under the sunj
And under the moonlight too!
And continued till the next morning,
When the sky grew blue.

Later in the day
A grey cloud came by
The funny hats stopped dancing
And began to cry.

"Why does this rain cloud
Spoil our song,
Why can't this grey rain cloud
Just move along!"

They sat in the funny hat house,
And watched for the sun.
Until one funny hat said
"Maybe there is another way to have fun?"

"We could play hide and seek,
Or dance on the beds?
As long as we are careful,
And don't bump our heads"

So the funny hats played
In the house all afternoon,
And soon after supper
Out came the moon!

The jumped with joy
and ran out under the stars,
They danced and sang
And ate ice cream bars.

But soon it got late
And it was time for bed,
"Goodnight my funny hat children,
Sweet dreams" their mother said.


I have a sequal in the works-its about the first day at school.
