Three Plus One Equals Fun
THREE PLUS ONE EQUALS FUN
Once upon a time, no fairytale,
there lived three of us kids,
washing dishes, rolling dice,
kissing mom and dad
goodnight.
Next upon a time, mama
cozily on her bed, yelled out
names and we joined
in this new game…
The three of us, just right for oz...we were the lollipop kids.*
And my brother wanted a monkey, not a sister or brother.
Yet three plus one brought so much fun.
Our sister was fashionable,
funny right from the start,
not a Dollar Store sort.
She loves red lipstick,
leopard patterns
and the Big Apple.*
No doubt three plus one caused our cackles to soar.
Thank goodness the ‘rents stopped or there’d be more.
