A wee time ago in a watery wet landstood the home of a chipmunk named Wilton La’DashHis home fell over with the power of windand hit the ground in a storm with a crashHis small tidy house was inside a treethat grew by the water where the sunlight was free

Not sure what to do or where to go nextHis friends were coming to help to rebuild his nestThey would each take a turnto show what they brought all items were foundwith none that were bought

They’re bringing items so newand some items oldand some items naturaland one item in goldWilton will stand grateful about each of his friends and the items they’ll offerto help his home mendBut for now - it’s a wreck

First there was Kano a red-legged frogwho lives with six shat the end of a logHe offered a cap from the top of a drinkAs he handed it over he gave Wilton a wink

I thought you could use this for many a needfrom table to storageor even a sinkThank you kind KanoWilton said to the frogwho hopped off a rockand sprang back in the bog

He set the cap down and looked at the trunkto see a salamander named Callanwith stripes like a skunkHello there, dear friend I heard you’re in needI brought you a good thingI think you’ll agree
