You're an artist too? I drew one here on FS long ago but I can assure you it wasn't this good. Actually, I am an artist, but in the realms of makeup artistry (I was a makeup artist for three years for Barbizon Modeling of Orlando), and I enjoy scrapbooking. I helps to have an artistic eye on FanStory and I use what's left of my eyesight to make my work eye-appealing and vibrant.
This is sugar sweet, beautifully penned, and illustrated, and has the deep components of friendship: admiration, love, and acceptance.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sally :)) XOs

I'm hardly an artist. It looks like a five-year-old drew it. Thank you for a wonderful review.
Comment from Paul McFarland
This is one of the best children's poems that I have seen on this site.
The Walrus to the starfish said
"To you I do proclaim,
That if those things do come to light,
Then I will do the same."

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, The Walrus and the Shellfish, is an adorable rhyme that brings two friends together in an upbeat dialogue of questioning life's peculiarities while enjoying its simple pleasures. The artwork is an added gem.

Comment from Mary Shifman
This is a charming poem which I really enjoyed. It has wonderful rhyme and the rhythm is perfect. I like the imagery, as well. What's more important is that these are exactly the kinds of questions that children ask. This is a great little poem and I'm sure children will love it. Nicely done.

I love this parody of The Walrus and the Carpenter. A much more benign version than Lewis Carroll's! All those imponderables add up to an unanswerable conundrum! LOL

How kind you are about my art work. It's so primitive! I'm happy you want to read it to Max. That's quite a compliment!

It's adorable! And I could NEVER come close to approximating anything remotely identifiable, so there ya go!

Comment from lyenochka
Love it! It reminds me in only the rhyme and rhythm of the Walrus and the Carpenter. But yours is so sweet and I love your picture, too! It's a perfect attitude for kids to be curious and wanting to share knowledge!

Now you know how my mind works. I've always said, inside, I'm eight years old. Thank you so much, Helen. Love you.

Well, well. You have such an active mind that I am sure you must have difficulty keeping up with all your ideas.
A very innovative and artful poem and drawing. Well done.
