Yellow Jell-O

Yellow Jell-O

Moonclay,

my monkey,

is gray

like dried up clay,

with a fur coat

of moonshine.

He grumbles and rambles for grub.

He is grumpy

and goofy.

Aunt Bella

comes around

balancing a bowl of yellow Jell-O

between her elbows.

And Moonclay,

my monkey,

dashes to her,

skipping

bouncing

and lands on Aunt Bella's head.

Splash ! !! Splash !!!

Squish! !! Squish!!!

Off they went

a dash through the floor

the open door

right to the flowers:

a yellow tower

sticky with Jell-O

tumbling down

into the dandelions.
