Henry's Visit

Henry* came to visit us And even stayed the night! The hours that we spent with him – An absolute delight. The house was primed for safety; The milk, of course, organic. Our drive was smooth; no ticks showed up And thus, no cause for panic. But oh, what fun exploring! The pillow paths and towers! The store, the playground and the pool, The watering of flowers. His dad’s old games and toys and books Were there, like pirates’ treasure, While music (some on tape!) was played, Which added to our pleasure. The giggles and excitement Proved the visit a success But, “Can I come back next Tuesday?” Was my favorite, I confess. *my not-quite 4-year-old grandson
