Story circle now is done.
Rory has one careful run.

Verse 1

One, two, three warm blankets fold.
Rory carries every roll.
Down the park path, slow and light,
To the library before night.

Chorus

Roll slow, Rory, hold them tight.
Bring the blankets home tonight.
If one corner starts to fly,
Pause and fix it by and by.

Verse 2

Rory rolls across one bump.
One cloth corner gives a jump.
Rory pauses on the track.
He will keep the blanket back.

Chorus

Roll slow, Rory, hold them tight.
Bring the blankets home tonight.
If one corner starts to fly,
Pause and fix it by and by.

Bridge

Librarian tucks the corner in.
Rory starts to roll again.
Three warm blankets, safe and neat,
Reach the library complete.

Final Chorus

Roll slow, Rory, job is done.
Every blanket, three, not one.
Gentle care along the way
Finishes the work today.

Outro

Library door closes tight.
Rest now, Rory. Sweet good night.
