One Flew Over the Cuckoo
another day in paradise
happily flitting and flopping
no flying for this crazy old bird
but he sure knows how to play
~
come close and he might kiss your cheek
or peck your derriere!
you never know with Charlie
he’s one flew over the cuckoo
~
I was way overdue for play, so I created a fun poem to go with the delightful art of Belén Soto. Her playful ceramic characters never fail to warm my heart and bring a smile to my face. Explore Belén’s website for a dose of fun and sunshine!
I love this. You made me laugh.

Agreed Natalie. We need play. I enjoy it and yet too seldom make the time and space for play.
