RED HOT MAMA

The little toucan flying by,
A bowl of sweets she did spy.

Red hot candies with a zest,
A perfect place to make her nest.

By chance the candy bowl did spill,
The little toucan ate her fill.

But after such a grand repast,
It’s time to lay her egg at last.

And much to her complete surprise,
She laid an egg of awesome size.

The day the egg began to crack,
The baby broke out with one whack.
