Ode to Tennessee Flat Stanley

Let me tell y’ all a story ‘bout a boy named Stan.

He flew to California, so he could visit with his aunt.

She took him lots of places around the USA,

On the motorcycle, with Uncle Bret, they had a great hey day!

 

 

He’s been in the mountain snow and in the Phoenix heat,

His favorite place in all the world is surfin’ at the beach.

The cities he has visited are too numerous to name;

LA, BIG APPLE, BRONCO TOWN are among his claims to fame.

 

 

One day, Tennessee Flat Stanley was riding in the car

From another long, hot trip that took him really far.

When Aunt Nesh unpacked her suitcase and then repacked again,

For their next adventure, she was sad to find he was missing in action!

 

 

So she tore the house apart looking for her little friend,

But the “T” on his red shirt never appeared again.

She wondered what to do, so she hit the internet

And found a substitute Flat Stanley to take on her next trip!

 

 

Then she took him to the beach, with Aunt Tina and his clone,

And the pictures that are attached, are just another one

Of Tennessee’s great escapades for the summer 2011.

We hope to see the real Stan when we all get to Heaven!

By, Aunt Nesh
