Success

So, you might be thinking, Was the weekend a success? Our grandson staying over In the city? Goodness, yes! The bus, the train, the dinosaurs, A tournament of chess, A playground smack in Central Park And who could ever guess... A play date with a neighbor's kids Without a drop of stress And dinner in a noodle place One block from our address; A fruit stand stop, hot cocoa, Easy bedtimes (no duress), A checker game and reading books (Pinocchio, no less). The proof, though, lies in Henry's words Which I do not finesse: "Can I come back next weekend?" I would say that spells success.

I think women are superior to men when it comes to putting up with kids. Loved your rhymes ending in "ess" "esse." And I'm always amazed at the fluidity your lines possess. You're a born versifier and a poet. Much enjoyed. / M

I want you to adopt me and let me come visit. You did all of my favorite things, and I am sure you are a blast! Well done.
