Camouflage
Two and two are four
Four and four are eight
Eight and eight are sixteen
Sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two
Poor little Blue bird, hungry as could be
If only he could see those little inchworms
In the tree.
Inchworm, inchworm measuring the marigolds
You and your arithmetic
You’ll probably go far
Inchworm, inchworm measuring the marigolds
Seems to me you'd stop and see
How beautiful they are
Inchworm, inchworm don’t stop to long
For Mr. bluebirds belly is empty
And you will be gone! Yummm
Smiles

What a very charming illo and poem--did you write it?
Oh, thank you. Yes Steve, at least part of it. I took some of the Inchworm song and added it to my poem:>
Babe, this is so charming and love the poem. You always have the cutest art on your blog!!
yes... Very Cute! And look at the detail of those leaves!
ok wht are the odds that he gets all four before the day is out. nice use of colors and poem
I JUST ADORE THIS!!!
I had to blow up the photo to notice the inchworms and the poem is absolutely wonderful. You need to publish this.
we used to sing another version of this song when we were children... delightful remembering it...
and i wonder if the birds added up the inches they ate and would report to their mate ..' Ive had a foots worth of dinner... time for a nap! '
your illustration is very charming
babe, this is the sweetest drawing. i love how you used simple colors for highlight. the whole thing propels me back to childhood and wonderful feelings about that time in life.
very nice babe.
Hi Babe:>
I haven't been around in a while... it seems like this whole year has been so busy! This is an adorable drawing... it is perfect with the poem. I love the touches of color against the black and white. Your gazebo project looks gorgeous!
You don't have an email link, but I wanted to get in touch with you about my dancing trees painting you admired last fall. I am planning on selling it, but I wanted see if you'd be interested before I put it in a gallery. You can email me through the link on my blog if you'd like more information.
I hope all's well! ~ Carla
