Joy said her Drog lived in the water woods with the water elemntal forest folk.

Since its April it is poetry month.We will be doing a poem a day,and a poem in your pocket! Apr 1: "I will not play at Tug o war, Id rather play at Hug o war, Where everyone hugs instead of tugs Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug Where everyone kisses and everyone grins and everyone cuddles and everyone wins" -Shel Silverstein Apr 2: The Crayon Box That Talked - Wouldn't it be terrible? Wouldn't it be sad? If just one single color was the color we had? If everything was purple? Or red? Or blue? Or green? If yellow, pink or orange was all that could be seen? Can you just imagine how dull the world would be if just one single color was all we got to see? Apr 3: Flutter,flutter little bat how I wonder where your at swooping through the darkest night you find your way without a light flutter flutter little bat how I wonder where your at
