Chester's Earmuffs
by Judi Moreillon

When he skated on the frozen lake,
Chester's ears turned red and ached.
He took a piece of wire that would bend
And his granny sewed cloth pads - one on each end.

When he put his ear protectors on,
Chester's friends looked on with scorn.
But later they turned on the charm,
When they too wanted ears toasty - and warm.

He took out a patent and made quite a few,
And then he got rich and famous, too.
Now, everyone wears earmuffs to the winter parade
To celebrate the great invention that Chester made.
