weekend home

my mother composed this little verse describing the events of our first night at grammy's house:


one look at this face
and it's tough to imagine
he's capable of capture
his small hand a grabbin'

poor little Squidgy
our once faithful fish
in this innocent grasp
his poor life got squished

beware of a three year old
chasing loose and free
good thing he's a cutie
or i'd tie him to a tree

now his mama cried tears
for the fish and the boy
he was put to bed soundly
the catch brought no joy

i love them both dearly
this mama and son
we bought a new Squidgy
too bad he can't run
