The first of this summer's mini Virtual Stamp Nights is underway now through June 13. Melinda (Wonkaismycat) is challenging us to use poetry to inspire a card. The first poem that came to my mind was the one I memorized in fourth or fifth grade - I still know part of it!
The poem is "Sick," by Shel Silverstein.
It starts like this:
"I cannot go to school today
said little Peggy Ann McKay
I have the measles and the mumps,
a gash, a rash and purple bumps."

What a cheery get well card! How could you not feel better!

Michelle, I thought of this poem and couldn't think how to represent it in a card--duh! You are so smart. I love this. The dewdrops are my favorite of course.

This is one of the poems my fourth graders loved to hear me read and I did for them almost on a weekly basis. Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness in sending it to me. It brought much cheerfulness.
