County Senior Scribes
Dreamland
By Marianne Cox Clark
Marianne Clark is a published author and long-time Senior Scribe. Her
credits include many postings on County News Online and her recent
book, “Yogi Boy Cox and Friends.”
After decades of having his story told to grandchildren and friends,
Yogi Boy Cox has achieved immortality through “his” book, Clark said.
“You only have ‘one’ good dog,” Clark added. “Yogi Boy was ours. You
can have wonderful dogs afterward, and they might come close, but they
never quite measure up.”
This book is available to County News Online readers with all proceeds
benefitting the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund. The book is available
in local bookstores; also through Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, and
Xlibris.com or by calling 1-888-796-4374 Ext. 7879.

Clark also enjoys writing poetry. The following is a wonderful
nighttime poem for the “little one” in your life…
DREAMLAND
Hush now child and go to sleep,
And into dreamland you will leap.
You will see fairies and baby animals, too,
And children doing what little children do.
You will see cotton candy clouds of white and pink,
And lemonade fountains from which you may drink.
Pretty flowers are in a row,
And an orchard where candy apples grow.
And there is a chocolate drop
Big enough to climb on top.
Then you can slide down to the ground,
And take a bite of the luscious mound.
Or if a candy cane is more for you,
You may sample all those, too.
As you go walking on a candy lane,
You’ll have no worry of a tummy pain.
You can play with children having fun,
Running in the lemony sun.
So close your eyes really tight,
And I will kiss you a “ good night”.
