Meeting Xander
Xander does not dress like other men
We knew that when we saw the kitty cat on his shirt
and the perky pastel pink top hat with the pink ribbon on his head
he likes his suspenders, grandma said.
Was this an apology, an explanation or a warning?
Xander always matches his suspenders to his hats whispered a cousin.
We had no idea what to expect from this kindergarten teacher.
He wore shirts with Snoopy, Mickey and Minnie, and Donald Duck
With matching theme suspenders and hats
Xander had a keen sense of humor, and he made us laugh
He brought playdough and glitter and paints and we loved him
He is a keeper! We told Grandma, and so she did.
