Tiny children love to play at the farmer’s petting park, they’ll stroke the little lambs all day, and then beg to stay till it gets dark, until mum has to drag them away - a spring visit always hits the mark! 6 Lines of Cheerful rhyme contest Sponsored by Line Gauthier * NB The Sponsor asked for a fun title! 04/10/20

this is indeed a cheery one, Jan. Happy Easter to you across the pond and a hop, skip and jump over to your island. I just put up a picture of my kids at the poem you just saw. Wish I could figure things out better like how to find my pictures. I don't even know how to get to the files they are stored in!!

Reading your poem was a lark! I hope it contest sparks. Ok, I'll leave hugs and go now to be silly somewhere else. No, I'll stay to seriously say you surpassed poetically pulling off 'cheerful' - I enjoyed. BE WELL ... CayCay
