The Tucker

A puzzle piece gets tucked away
Inside a resting boot
And Henry, who's the tucker,
Finds this type of thing a hoot.

A book is likewise hidden
In a laundry pail or drawer
Where, if someone isn't watching,
We won't find it anymore.

This hide and seek's adorable
Though it comes with a cost,
For it's just a stroke of luck so far
That nothing has been lost!

hey andrea! he's my 16 month old grandson and he is 100% delicious, even when he's acting in his new impish fashion...

You are wrapping your poems up so nicely lately. Can't believe you haven't lost anything yet. My sister Bonnie used to love to take a piece of the puzzle to be a stinker. We don't like her anymore. :)))) Just Kidding. :) Peace. :)
