Mr Printer

My son prints out his kids’ assignments
Since there’s lots on Zoom
And Hadley’s job is getting them
From the computer room.

But in addition, she now gets,
And showed us on the phone,
Some notes from “Mr. Printer”
As the signer’s name is known.

In kindergarten, Hadley’s just
Beginning now to read
So little notes addressed to her
Are wonderful, indeed.

She needs a little help with words
But promptly writes him back,
Not knowing that of Daddy’s voice
The writing sure does smack.

It’s very sweet and soon enough,
She’ll figure it all out.
For now, though, both are having fun,
Of that there is no doubt.

What a delight to read, Ilene! It won't be long before Hadley realizes who is actually leaving notes for her. In the meantime, the whole family can enjoy this. Hugs, carolyn
