What an adorable morality tale about being too stubborn. No one gets anywhere.
Love the alliteration of all the "b's" in
Zerubbabel Baxter
It is such a fun name to say aloud.
Solid rhymes. I love the Zee and Tee repitition.

Comment from BLACKDYKE
What are you going to write about when
he grows up Brooke? Of course any name
will do, how about mine? Your Zerubbabel
tells a good story to interest any listener.
East or west it don't make no difference
to me, the story has captured my interest.

Eric, I imagine I'll be writing about skate boarding and puppy love and all sorts of boy stuff :-) Thanks so much. Brooke :-)
Comment from risktaker
When there is no room for compromise, stagnation occurs and noting gets done moving forward. I love the imagery, choice of words, flow, tone and structure. The message is clear, being stubborn at the wrong time is foolish. I relate to "thought he knew best," and "he just wanted his way,"
Outstanding poem.

Comment from comanalbert
Like the saying that when two are fighting, the third will win. I suppose that character never did rebuilt the temple...It is a lesson that too much planning drowns the project.
I will look out for your story-poem.

Comment from TamzinWhite
I love the way you got me Zeeeee-ing and Teeee-ing and then tea-ing just as pronounced. Great rhythm and message throughout the story. The children turned from babes to adults in a few short phrases. Excellent! Well done!

Comment from Sanku
tee and zee fought and argued
all through night and day
in the end they just sat glued
to the same spot on the bay-no doubt their ship would have sunk and they ,hopefully would have learnt a lesson.
one mor lovely poem for children from your golden pen, Brooke-Santha..

You're right it is a delightful name - you've had a few of those lately!
What lesson are we to learn, I wonder, from this nutty piece of obstinacy from Tee and Zee (who of course would have to be Zed if he came from New Zealand - what a nuisance having to change all your rhyming!
