Pinocchio And The Squirrel (Part 8)

by RainbowSlider   Apr 20, 2008


Robin said, "Don't cry; You'll stain your wood."
Pinocchio tried to understand; If only he could.
Robin asked, "Why do you think girls are misses?"
"Do you think it is because of the hugs and kisses?"

Pinocchio lost for an answer just only listened.
And he looked at her eyes and how they glistened.
Robin asked, "Why do you think men are misters?"
Then Pinocchio smiled then went and kissed her.

But one day Robin flew away high in the big sky.
Pinocchio pondered her first question of why.
And Robin was gone for a long time and he knew.
He just stood there longing at the sky of blue.

He wished he could fly and he picked up the twig.
And for some reason with the twig he felt big.
His wooden heart and his wooden brain bonded.
His mind turned flesh and his heart responded.

The first time in his life he was a real boy.
And a real girl came by to finish the story.
With eyes that glistened with real big tears.
He wondered where she had been all these years.
