Aren't you 'spose to smile at me - - - - - - move your face to my eyes? Nothin'? I surely wanna squeeze you but ... for now ... I'll just touch on the tree. (My mouth wants to gum you using the best drool I can coo!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I cannot make you move but you have a face? I'll just squeeze ground things and check their taste. ... CayCay May 11, 2019

CayCay - gone back to read these two last poems - this one should go into a mother to be magazine - you would not only win soup's contest but be sought after for your imaginative children writes! Love you, Jenny.

So nicely done, CayCay. I am a bit jealous of how you are able to perceive things with eye wide-open, childlike innocence. A precious, precocious gift, you have! :) gw
