Stories that Smile at You
A Daisy Named Jake
(c) Linda Hutchison January 2020
There once was daisy named Jake
Who lived by the side of a lake
He was sunning one day
When he started to sway
And found himself squashed by a snake
But there’s more to this story of Jake
Who found himself flat by the lake
He was starting to stir
When he felt all the blur
Of the wings of a bee on the make
So here was our hero called Jake
Who was wond’ring how much he could take
His petals shook free
And he startled the bee
So that back in the sun he could bake
So the lesson from Jake you can take
Is that when from your problems you wake
Find a place by the moss
Where you don’t give a toss
And your thirst for some joy you will slake.
