The Tower
Story by Andrew Frinkle

Dana went to visit a big tower.

It took her more than an hour,
because the tower lost power.
In the dark she had to cower,
for at least an hour!

Dana went home to take a shower.

Being scared had made her smell sour.
Her skin she really had to scour.
Until she smelled more like a flower!
