BLUE STEW

The cooking crew at a local zoo

decided to make something new

They made a stew-

now that's not new,

but this was not your normal stew.

This stew had such a different hue;

this stew was a gluey, new, blue stew

This really was a strange new brew;

this stuff the cooking crew called stew;

I didn't like the color.......blue,

so I didn't eat that awful stew.

What would YOU do, would you

eat gluey, new, blue stew ?

That gluey stew of sapphire blue ...

Why, even they, the cooking crew

wouldn't even try their own blue stew.

Instead, they figured what to do ;

they'd feed it to the zoo's new gnu

They fed some to the hungry gnu .

The gnu did chew that new, blue stew.

He liked the stew, and gave a Moo;

a moo that said, "I like blue stew".

He ate one bowl of that blue stew

and then he had another, too.

He mooed and mooed for more blue stew;

he ate so much, that wings he grew !

A flying gnu who loved blue stew...

I've never heard of that, have you ?

The flying gnu just flew and flew

and then came back for more blue stew.

But then, I noticed something new,

the gnu who loved that strange, blue stew;

that stew that looked like blue stew glue,

had changed from brown to a different hue.

The gnu that ate so much blue stew

himself became a true blue gnu !!

Just a little bit of nonsense to brighten someone's day today.

This is something I wrote years ago for children.

Perhaps you can read it to your kids.

It might even put a smile on your face.

We all need to find things to make us laugh, especially now, in the light of

what's happening in our world today. I hope this fits the bill.

Count your blessings every day.
