What You Got

She kept a close eye on her child
He had his fist close to his chest
An adorable smiling toddler
Hard to track but she did her best

Whenever he came close to her
She said, "What you got there sugar?"
He opened up his hand and smiled
And then said,"It's a booger!"

Saw this on the Poetry Soup Home Page. It was the first poem shown, as well it should be!! After all, when someone has the incredible idea of rhyming sugar with booger --- #1 may be a bit on the low side of the valuation of that kind of talent. Hilarious, Pat! ~ Laughing all over my keyboard , gw
