Mix & Match Week 2

Week 2 of the Mix and Match challenge was the hardest for me: write a story with cumulative structure. (You know--'The House that Jack Built' or 'There was an old lady who swallowed a fly...')

Check out Susanna L. Hill's post for all the details of the Week 2 Challenge, and read through the other entries in the comments.

Here's my entry and illustration!

The Hungriest Python

The hungriest python turned into a boat
to capture some lunch down his long winding throat.
I hope he’ll float!
 
He called to a bee, “Come sailing with me!
There’s a valley of flowers across the wide sea.”
He swallowed the bee down his long winding throat.
I hope he’ll float!
