Mucumber McGee and the Half-Eaten Hot Dog
Available at AMAZON.com

Where the rain falls
and the wind howls,
little Mucumber's stomach growls.

But what can he do
when there's nothing to chew,
like apples or crackers
or porridge or stew?

But wait - a hot dog!
albeit quite old ...
and wrinkled and lumpy
and lonely and cold.

We all know it's true -
food is better when new.
But if you were that hungry,
what would YOU do?
