There once was a child
with plain brown eyes.
She had plain mousy hair
and everyone passed her by.
Her parents were busy with work everyday
her sister was older and didn’t want to play.
Her teachers ignored her–
she wished she knew what to do!
She didn’t feel special
or witty
or new.
But one day the child
heard a song on the radio.
Her heart quaked
and she was set all aflutter,
her vocal chords were warmed
like wet melted butter.
Then she opened her mouth and started to sing.
The whole world paused,
people stopped in the streets,
to listen to this girl
and the song with it’s beats.

Happy reading!
