Cannot Get Stuffed Animals To Dance

Shelly called grandma to furiously complain
I cannot get them to dance, she said with disdain.
Are they not minding you at all? Grandma asked her.
They aren’t even walking, I am pretty sure.

They have to want to dance and perform grandma said.
Maybe they need a nap. Did you put them to bed?
They’ve been on the bed all day, Shelly reported.
But she was happier now, feeling duly supported.

Vintage CK, this one -- 'fully supported' always makes 'em feel better. (I used to be a fan of: 'Mommy kiss it. Make it feel all better). Tee-hee.

A cute write. I have the same problem as Shelly. You cannot do anything with the stuffed animals of today. Give me the old ones if I want to dance. Have a fun day...............

It is so difficult to make them mind!
