In a forest so wide,
where the tall trees hide,
Lived a family so dear,
with their dogs near.
Barkley and Bella, furry and fine,
Held a secret, a mission divine.
By a pond that gleamed and shone,
a secret was made known,
A shell that whispered low,
“Help the magic grow!"
Barkley listened, Bella danced,
In this enchanged forest,
they pranced.
In the woods, dark and deep,
Where shadows crawl and creeps,
Barkley and Bella, brave and bold,
Fought the gloom, strong and cold.
They met a turtle, old and wise,
With stories hidden in its eyes.
“Protect the balance,” it said with grace,
“In this green and lovely space.”
In a clearing, time forgot,
Lay treasures of a long-lost plot.
Relics of the past so vast,
A bridge to history they cast.
When the sky roared, rain galore,
Through the wet, their spirits soar.
Guided by paws, through rain and laws,
They ventured on without a pause.
Under the Great Oak, so tall and wise,
They found a glade, a joyful prize.
Barkley and Bella, in sunlight spun,
Their secret mission, almost done.
Around the fire’s warm glow,
under the sars’ gentle show,
They shared tales of daring and might,
of how they restored the forest’s light.
Thus ends our tale of the first Gene Key,
In a forest where wonders roam free.
Barkely and Bella, heroes so true,
In the Chav-A-Loo Chronicles, there’s more in view.
In every leaf, in every tree,
A story whispers, whild and free.
Come back soon for tales anew,
In the magical world of Chav-A-Loo.
