WHILE IT RAINED


WHILE IT RAINED

It rained 
It poured
And all
The while
Booglie Boo 
Stored.

Fast asleep 
Next
To me
Booglie
Talked in
His sleep. 

Tickle me
Pink
Tickle me
Blue
Tickle me
In every 
Hue...

I sat up
Puzzled
Having no
Idea
Of what he
Was
On about.

I curl
My toes
Indeed
My whole
Self
Into a
Ball...
I'll roll
Around 
So you can
Tickle me
Not!

I realized 
Booglie was
Talking 
About 
Our game...
I laughed 
Quietly 
As I leaned
In to
Hug him.

In my
Arms, he
Woke up
Eyes heavy
With
Sleep.

Oh goody
Mumbled
Booglie 
Let us play
The Tickle
Game.

I smiled
As I nodded
Yes
But first
Let's get
Some sleep
You and I.

In agreement 
We cuddled 
Together 
The rain
Kept falling...

Soon we were 
Tickling
Each other!
