Benjamin's second composition

Dragon: give a big swing of your tail.
Dragon with the burning horn: kick.
Dragon: breathe fire.
Little dragon: crawl.
Baby dragon: break out of your egg and say, "Boo!"

Little Calf Mountain

Benjamin's first poem

The Dragon

When the stars go down, all twinkly in the sky
And the roses go up, all happy, all treasury
The frog jumps up on his green house filled with leaves
And then the something goes out, all scary, all spitting fire

Benjamin Tucker Marcus, age 3¾
(transcribed by his father)
