Beach Ball In a Suitcase

So my son is knocking up The alphabet at the worktable He's onto the letter 'j' (Should it have a hat or not?) "Downward stroke, with a curl, Then stab his face." He's onto the letter 't' (The Romans pronounced it 'tay') "Downward stroke, then slap Him across the mug." The ancients kept reversing and Rotating them I do the same with my son And as he's tucked into bed I regret the bloodthirsty Language I used Be careful what you utter To a child "Dad, I'm going to blow your glasses off."

Hi Ann. Thank you for your kind comments. That cafe is still going, but due to the pandemic I've not been there for a while. I hope to return to it.
