I went to the store to buy a pickle
But who would have guessed I’d be short a nickle
When out of the blue, a stellar jay chimed,
“I’ll loan you a nickle, or even a dime.”
Thank goodness for what silly, odd creatures, do say
They remind us so oft of the whimsical days,
of Dr. Seuss, Mad Hatter, or Puffenstuff lore
And each small reminder beats back childhood’s gore
For some folks are good, despite what they say–
some folks are kind and treat others that way
So the nice little offer from Stellar bird jay,
Redeems the good hearted, hip, hip hooray!
