Fluffy lizard from the south sea
Climbed a green mountain, majestically
He neither dillyed nor dallied
He flew to the top
To drink the Queen’s tea
While the tea was still hot
But when he arrived
It gave him a shock
To find at the peak
A headstone of solid rock
With the name of a stranger
And of a friend
and it gave his fork tongue a twitch
When he read the third name was him
Forrest is open about his pen name and wishes to keep his identity secret. We can shorten Forrest Kidd to “For Kids.” As a dad, Forrest writes for his kids whose silliness inspires him.
By day Forrest works a boring office job and by night enjoys reading mysteries, thrillers and science fiction. Lately, he has been reading a lot of children’s books to his kids. He especially enjoys the story-like poems of Shel Silverstein and the metered, humorous children’s stories by Sandra Boynton.
