When Christmas and Birthdays come around,
And Childrens Gifts need to be found.
Something that will raise some cheers,
And Keep its Value for Many Years.
Well "The Story Teller Fella" is here,
I'm a Cheerful Chap with a Great Idea.
For a Kid-Captivating Personal Story,
Featuring You-Know-Who in their Childhood Glory.
You get me Their Details and then simply let,
Me write them a Tale they'll never forget.
A Stunning Story is my Ultimate Goal,
With your Chosen Child in the Starring Role.
Anything they'd like to be,
From a Never missed Show that's on TV.
Or a Fantasy from inside their head,
From a Favourite Book they might have Read.
Those bits that make their life Unique,
The things they do, The way they speak.
People they know and Songs they've Sung,
Paint a Perfect Picture of when they were young.
Caught in Couplets, Preserved in Prose,
Anecdotes and Antics there are plenty of those.
The Games they play, Old Childish pranks.
In years to come they'll give you thanks.
Best Friends both from School and Play,
Get Mentioned too along the way.
Friendships can Fade With Passing Time,
But not when Immortalised in Rhyme.
Like a Funny Faded Photograph,
In years to come they'll Read and Laugh.
This Snapshot of Forgotten Youth,
Where every word will Be the Truth.
Events from Childhoods Distant Past,
Still Vivid so will ever last.
Not just a Gift but a Memory too,
Wrapped up in a Rhyme with Love From You.
