CLOUDS<\/div>\n
\u00a0by Dorothy Aldis<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If I had a spoon<\/div>\n
As tall as the sky<\/div>\n
I’d dish out the clouds<\/div>\n
That go slip-sliding by.<\/div>\n
I’d take them right in<\/div>\n
And give them to cook<\/div>\n
And see if they tasted<\/div>\n
As good as they look.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’ve searched other books and I can usually find this poem, but I cannot find the right illustration of the little boy holding the tall spoon catching clouds.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The book was a hardcover cloth-like blue,\u00a0 with faded letters embossed on cover. There was no dust jacket.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I thought maybe the book was “Here, There, and Everywhere” by D. Aldis, but as it turns out, it is not the right book 🤔<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Size of the book was approximately<\/div>\n
\u00a08″ x 11″x 1″ thick.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
