Lauren and Her Blanket
by Shelby M. Forrest


Nine year old Lauren has a very good friend
The name of her friend is Blanky
Blanky has grown very thin over the years
Just about as thin as a hanky.

Her friend, of course, as you might guess
Is her loyal, loveable blanket
But when her friend is naughty at times
Then Lauren has to spank it.

To bed went Blanky with her every night
And she clutched him close and tight
You never could separate him from her arms
If you struggled with all your might.

Once she took Blanky out swimmng with her
In a great big swimming tank.
But Blanky could not swim a lick, you know
And to the bottom he sank

Blanky, now, she is going to give
To her nephew, who's just one
So he, like she, can love Blanky, too
And with him have loads of fun.
