Betsie Belle - Nursery Rhyme

Betsie tripped on spider silk
And kicked a can of milk 
But with aplomb this cow
Stood up and took a bow
And though her feet were wet
She did a perfect pirouette.

Cute, cute cute Paul, all the best in Eve's contest. the last two lines brought a smile to my face as i think of our 4 month old grand-daughter giggling her heart out by the time she is three years old.
