I'm currently working on illustrating a book of children's poetry my friend Kevin wrote with his sister, it's been a really fun project. This illustration accompanies the poem titled, "Molly McBing, Best on the Swing." We have a designer who will be laying out the book but here is the poem in plain text:
MOLLY McBING, BEST ON THE SWING
There once was a girl named Molly McBing
And she was an absolute ace on the swing
She’d get so high she’d look down on the trees
With hardly ever a bend in her knees
Then do triple summersault dismounts with ease
Molly McBing
Ace on the swing
So Molly perfected her swinging all day
Doing flips and twists in every possible way
When people saw her they were prompted to say
Molly McBing
Best on the swing
One day Molly decided to try something new
A swing trick that utterly no one could do
Her pulse started racing her confidence grew
Molly McBing
Ace on the swing
She started her swing with a run and a hop
Then she swung so high she just couldn’t stop
She kept on going right over the top
Molly McBing
Went over the swing
When the swing came around and the dust had cleared
What happened was worse than anyone had feared
Molly McBing had dissapeared
Molly McBing
Gone from the swing?
All that was found was Molly’s left shoe
Where she had gone nobody knew
And I kid you not this story is true
Molly McBing
Dissapeared from the swing
So if you’re thinking of trying this move on the swing
Remember what happened to Molly McBing
