Gerry Giraffe, kneeling fore, not aft

paddled a raft, his favorite craft,

with a hearty laugh at the cooling draft

while his friend Danny Deer, always sincere

and full of good cheer, steered from the rear

sipping root beer.

or

maybe just

Giraffe paddled his raft

kneeling fore, not aft,

whole his friend deer

steered from the rear.

For a kid's book I am working on.

Round 2: Castle LeFini

Sissy and Garryd at Castle LeFini

I sent off Aya's sketchbook to Mike, because I was having surgery and not sure how I would be afterwards.  I had the surgery and am recovering, and wanted to paint, so I painted in one of the old returned Moles from 2011-2012 (Was that Round 2?).  This is an illo for another kids' book I am working on, faber Castelle Pitt Pigment pen and watercolor.  If interested,you can read the chapter here, it is fairly short (3 pages typed).  I gave it the tag children's picture book, but it probably will be a novel if finish it.
