Calico Hits the Sky

Inspired by Calico Pie written by Edward Lear located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)

Bing Bing my hats are my pride and joy they let me know if I annoy

Creek Crack the stick play a stone that only the fiddle knew alone

A jitter A jitter Calico fly thru the sky

Breeming with laughter she crooned a song all day long

Hat atilt she sashay and dance dance until the beetles say ba ba ba ba

Spiraling circles enamored with sprinkles of color kept Calico spirits high and she sighed
with joy
