Ode To the Sandbox

Larry's in the sand box Trying to build a castle Johnny comes along And gives Larry a hassle Johnny says the castle is too weak You need to make it more stable Larry says I'm not a builder So I'm just not able Susie comes to check the castle Sees them fighting with no work Says she's getting angry They are both being a jerk Women are more likely To be able to finish the task They are more capable There is no need to ask Boys you need to act like men Not get into quarrels and fights When you learn to play nice You will have some better nights

Eve thanks for visiting. Also for the really kind words for something that is fun for our card group. The men will always be boys and we really don't want them to grow up. Blessings Edith

I remember the sand box well. You three usually played well together so there were no problems That is why you always accomplish what you set out to do. You learned it at an early age. These guys know how to get along but it is more fun to bicker Love Mom
