The Tiny Tyke

It's not easy for a tiny tike
I know, because I was once that
A full disclosure, that I made up
Follows about the tiny tyke Pat

I asked, "Where in the world is that?"
When told I had a tooth in decay!
When I put my shoes on the wrong feet
The kid I put them on, ran away!

Being a Tiny Tyke was so hard
My parents were always talking
Of how I took my bike to bed
Concerned about my sleep walking

It seems that I'm never content
Wishing I'm not, what I've been
Still true because now, I'm wishing
To be a Tiny Tyke again!

Crikey Pat … your wit is there for all to see, but you see it in such a different light and I'm so pleased you do - it's great - Lindsay

I love the line about how you took your bike to bed because of your sleepwalking - I can imagine you doing that as a kid!

I answered this once but I guess it got erased. Anyway, thank you so much for commenting, and yes there isn't much I haven't done in bed. (I probably could have put that better, oh well)................80)
