There once were two bloggers from Yorkshire,
Who Tweeted each other one day,
And found that they lived around the corner,
So they gate-crashed the nearest soft play,
The one with the brown hair called Gemma,
Had been hatching an awesome idea,
To write a short book for her children,
About this attractive chap here…
Now this little fella’s a Blobfish,
And the sight of him made her feel bad,
Who was this poor lonely creature?
What made him so grumpy and sad?
She thought he might like a companion,
So determined to find him a friend,
She dreamed of an ocean adventure,
That would lead him to smile in the end.
She got out her paintbrush and sketchpad,
To draft how his tale should begin.
Our Blobfish was set for his story…
…which is now where the blonde one comes in.
Our Dawn here’s a bit of a poet.
Her blog is called “Rhyming with Wine”.
So I figured she might be the person
To make our new fishy friend rhyme.
And so there on a noisy kids’ playdate,
Whilst our children all played happily,
We plotted our hero’s adventures
Over biscuits and barely warm tea.
Our fish would embark on a mission,
To seek out a wonderful friend,
And learn quite a valuable lesson,
By the time our tale reaches its end.
He’ll work out that things are not always,
the way that they first might appear,
And sometimes the things we most wish for,
Can often already be near.
We present to you now:
Bob the Blobfish,
Which we share with you proudly today,
And we’d love you to give us some pointers,
To help our fab fish on his way.
We hope you enjoy his short story,
As our kids think we’ve done a great job,
And so over to you lovely people:
May we please introduce you to… Bob!
Bob is now getting ready to set off on his adventure across the ocean and we will be very excited to share his story with you in due course.
In the meantime we’d love you to join us on our journey by following us on Twitter and Instagram.
Thanks in advance!
