A LOVELY, BELEM DAY (c) Copyright 2008 by Earl F. Hubbard Jr.
(from THE LONG ROAD HOME/A YELLOW BUS BOOK coming SOON!)
Jim and Cara Lou,

whistling a cool tune,
with Mr. Talking Toad.
Lisa and Ju Ju,
weren't far behind,
in front of Mr. Howard,
who needed to unwind.
Just a-strollin

with gambling on his mind,
breathing in the scenery,
for he wasn't blind.
He always shared his gold,
with those who were in need.
for he wasn't cold,
or a stingy man of greed.
He said that love will bloom,
when you plant a single seed,
and give it lots of room,
OH YES IT WILL, INDEED!
Hilly, Millie, Lily,
were walking next to Piff,
behind Little Legs,
who was a little stiff -
from sleeping on our bus,
for over twenty hours,
next to Mr. Kitty,
enchanted by his powers.
This was just the start,
of a lovely, Belem Day,
near a busy harbor,
by a balmy bay.
It's where we found "The Toad's,
in a gold and crimson coach,
in the heart of Portugal,
who waved as we approached.
Michelle kissed Dionte,
Mars Bar - Little Legs,
who prayed for little toadpoles,
hatched from a dozen eggs.
The honeymoon was over,
but the fun had just begun,
as we welcomed Nicolette,
and The Toad's into the sun.
efhjr.
Author notes
This is the 10th piece for what will be my 26th book and the fifth book in my YELLOW BUS of PEACE & LOVE series of books of which I have (at the very least) 6 of planned - if all goes well. As with my LITTLE STAR books - my YELLOW BUS books are meant to be read from the first page to the last like the chapters of a novel.
In a list

With all the concentration Mr Howard puts into thinking about gambling, I’m not surprised he has so many windfalls but he is very kind to always share his winnings and spread a little happiness to those he meets along the way on this journey. It’s funny how children can sleep so many hours, often in uncomfortable places and positions and yet still keep up when needed. Maybe we should get Little Legs a skateboard or even a wind-board so she can surf along the beach with us! If HAPPY was a husky or something similar we could harness him and let him pull her along in a cart. The toads could be very busy parents with a dozen toadpoles to look after lol. It’s a good thing they grow up fast
