Tall Tales

Oh, I shall tell tall tales today,
Full, great, big bushy lies.
A hairy tale, a scary tale,
All covered in disguise.

Just lying there, soon to ensnare,
A snake to give one fright,
But when my grandchild grabs at it,
It moves, to her delight!

Something’s amiss, this shaggy tale,
You’re starting to surmise.
If I misspelled a tale today,
Would you be none-the-wise?

Clever, cute read for your grandchild, Jeff, but also for us! Eve Roper would love this, I'm guessing.

Grandkids have a way of making the ordinary extraordinary, I have found. Thanks!
