While other Yagotters spent lots of time counting,
This girl, Winnie Wisp, really didn’t like math.
While others used counting to rank their amounting,
This girl and her Whoosh walked a different path.
Their path meandered to the hills beyond town,
where nothing much happened, yet everything did,
A day in the hills was a verb, not a noun,
where sunbeam-dreams streamed, said hello and then hid.
They played hide-and-seek with the marmots and mice,
joined posses of daisies who shimmied and danced.
They came in all weather — whether cold, wet, or nice.
The world buzzed with life and these friends were entranced.
