A Young Girl Named Millie

A young girl named Millie
sat where it was hilly
eating her PB & J.

Along came 3 boys
trying not to make noise
and took her lunchbox away.

Millie didn’t flinch,
not even an inch,
as the boys ran off with their prize.

When they looked back
she had a big smile
that spread all the way to her eyes.

The boys were surprised
when they looked inside
and found cookie crumbs and a note.

‘You’re not very good at sneaking around.
Every bicker and sneeze
was carried along with the breeze,
especially Max clearing his throat.’

I have cookies and snacks,
or you can turn back.
You decide what to do.
We can play tag, or hide and seek,
or maybe a card game or two.
