“I can smell Spring!” shouted Duffy one day.
“The soft air is tickling my nose.
It feels warm, it feels breezy. I’ve stopped feeling sneezy.
Everywhere glimmers and glows.”
“I’ll write a long poem to welcome the Spring,
with wonderful words that will rhyme.
Like “winky” and “twinky.” They both rhyme with “stinky.”
It’s easy! It won’t take much time.”

The show will be perfect tonight.”

the squawky-rawky crookedy Crimble Crane.”

WINTER SURPRISES
“I’ve lost the only friend I have. I’ve searched for her all night,”
the old bear whispered sadly. “She’s disappeared from sight.”
“The Thrift Store Bears will help,” said Stan. “Cheer up and come with me.
You need a bath, a good hot meal and honey in your tea.”
