Hawkins Hollow Nursery Rhymes
Windowed Garden Marker at Firefly Switchback
Lex remembers a quick turn; Austin remembers a slow turn. Both are useful: quick marks the clear side, while slow keeps time at the narrow side. The marker window lets both cues remain visible.
Rhyme
Firefly switchback held four near.
Silver drops made edges clear.
Once round willow roots went four.
Slow feet listened; fast feet explored.
At acorn table, pairs crossed through:
Lex with Alice; Austin with Callen too.
Lex said, “Quick turn—that is mine.”
Austin said, “Slow turn keeps good time.”
Quick showed space. Slow showed wait.
Two useful clues met at the gate.
Back at switchback, wet marks shone.
The windowed marker held both shown.
Alice moved one basket from the side.
Callen kept the narrow edge open wide.
One small nook stayed clear and bright.
Slow and quick made room just right.
