I Love You: A Rebus Poem

(4) PS Illustrated by Suse MacDonald. "Every bird loves a tree / Every flower loves a bee / Every lock loves a key." Each stanza in this simple rhyming poem describes the affectionate relationship between two things, ending with "And I love you." The rebus is easy to guess and is helped along by the rhyme. Sheep, pigs, sand pails, socks and shoes, among other common images, populate the saccharine illustrations.
