The Willowbee Bush
The phomphlits in the willowbee
bush have a dilemma. The bush is sprouting new babies and they all look
alike. The parents don't know who's been fed or changed. In fact they don't
even know whose baby is whose. They ask Jennifer for help, but her task
becomes difficult when she hears that all the babies have the same name - Phaphoophle. They must all be alike, the phomphits tell her, so that no one is
different or unlike the rest. Little by little Jennifer solves the problem.
The Willowbee Bush was written for my granddaughter. It is
unpublished.

This bush was so full that the fathers
and mothers (who cared for these phomphlits, these sisters and brothers,
who
sprouted and grew, and were crying and weeping,
and needing clean diapers,
and eating and sleeping)
forgot who was where. . . |
|
|
|
They stood on their branches and looked far and wide.
They all called, they
all shouted, they hollered, they cried. |
|
They painted themselves, decorated each
other.
Soon all of the parents, each father and mother, were covered with colors, with greens, blues and reds,
then they sprinkled confetti all over
their heads. |
