Keen Observation

My neighbour’s little son is so smart
In an assignment on Grandparents, he wrote
“They never seem to hurry,
Any time, can tell a story
Before sleep, they take their teeth and gums out”

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! There used to be a TV show in the USA in the 1950's called 'Kids Say the Darndest Things.' Your limericks last line would surely have delighted any studio audience back then, Valsa. Smiles, Gershon

Children amaze and amuse us with their naive remarks. They observe things and express their thoughts without 'editing'. You are a person endowed with a sense of humour. Only such a person can laugh over a joke. Thank you so much, Greshon !
