Orange sun is out, and we're playing house
My pets are my kids-until puss sees mouse!
Mommy loves to water her gorgeous blooms
While dog and kitty rest, inside porch rooms.

This Saturday, childhood seems left behind
When we make-believe, as the time unwinds.
Soon Mommy serves lunch-of milk and a bone;
And sandwich for herself. Jay sings alone.

Is there a 'children's garden of poetry' contest to enter this one in? If so, it's a sure winner. If not, 'tis a shame. A FAVE for me, Evelyn. Huzzah! :) Gershon
