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!
