Scarlet and Yoohoo My name is Scarlet. i am nine years old Adopted Yoohoo. keeps me warm in the cold A stuffed Lemur …scent of lavender ..never not together Pop her in an oven or a microwave Heats up my bed like a fuzzy bear cave An emergency…a hospital suite…knocked off my feet Suddenly there I was in a surgery room Scared and holding tight onto my Yoohoo Steel table so long …woke up alone….my pal was gone… I called out for Yoo-hoo that’s who-hoo tail of grey and blu-hoo not quite brand new-hoo lives with my shoo-hoos I love her through and thru my best friend named Yoo-hoo- Where in the world could Yoohoo possibly be? Turns out she got tossed in the laundry. Soapy water…swimming like an otter …maybe lost forever… So dizzy and afraid now a soggy mess Landed inside a bag with my sundress Nurse said peekaboo… “does she belong to you?”..I squealed “i thought i lost you” I called out for Yoo-hoo that’s who-hoo tail of grey and blu-hoo not quite brand new-hoo lives with my shoo-hoos love her through and thru my best friend named Yoo-hoo- It seems she needed stitches got em from my mom And a bunch new stuffing a little later on. She got beads from us …for being just …so awfully courageous I love you Yoo-hoo that’s who-hoo tail of grey and blu-hoo not quite brand new-hoo lives with my shoo-hoos love you through and thru my best friend named Yoo-hoo Scarlet’s best friend named Yoo-Hoo.
