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. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Children Sing to Rhyme Contest Sponsored by Eve Roper © 1st April 2023

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.
