Day 5

Every Child Has a Story...Please Listen!

Ladybird, Ladybird, fly away home.
Your house is on fire and your children are gone!
What could have happened?
How can this be?
It was the prettiest house you ever did see.
What happened to the humans, they were always so kind,
The mother, the daughter, the twins Ben and Brian?
I remember that sometimes it was noisy at night,
With sounds of sirens, whailing and strife….
But none of that matters at this very sec.
YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE, FLY HOME AND CHECK!
