Drop-off Line

Drop-off Line

maybe 3

looked to be

had her bag

ready for school

happy in her pink coat

with big buttons

but in the rush

to get to class

on time

Rudolph fell

out of her bag

thump

hit the cement cold

‘course she cried

and cried some more

her daddy tried

but she was much too deep

in tears to tell him

that Rudolph

“Rudolph with his bright red nose”

was real to her

and when he fell

to the ground

tumbling down

he got hurt

and hit his head

his nose bled

and she

felt it
