lick ice pellets
off soggy red mittens......

Our President wants us to see
A Justice as mean as can be
Pack tots in cages
Deny their mom wages
And tell them they'll never be free...

     tiny tots gather round a slug
       fascinating little bug … 

     big folks smirk and shrug
       curiosity swept under the rug

watch the body count grow
when tiny tots near the t.v.
turn and ask you: "Why?!" ....
check your gun, pet your shepherd,
lock your doors and watch them sleep...

Things sweet
bring heat?

Fed tots
Red Hots

Sore tongue
for young

Squalling;
bawling.

At last
that passed.

Amuse
and choose . . .

Camelot produced two tots
Caroline, and John Junior...
How their mother cried when their father died!
   Instead of rebuilding a productive chassis
   ~ She went gold-digging and married Onassis...

Sitting with Winnie

Running from MiMi in polka dots 
Makes me giggle at haughty tots
Who don’t want to use their potty pots.
I’m now thinking of tequila shots
And other things I oughta nots.

See the pretty little Ladybug
In summer she'll sit on your mug             
Pose in her polka dots                 
Delighting tiny tots
Play a tune and she may cut a rug

The gods at war again
Throwing bolts of lightning,
Torrential pummeling rain
The sky is dark at midday
The gauntlet has been lain,
Tots find it all so frightening
Tearful 'til the beast is slain.

Baby cat with happy meows, gentle mews and splashy spots
We love your happiness for you remind us of our baby tots
When we see you, we do not think of Halloween, we think of glee.
When you decide to teach how to be joyful lessons, please think of me....

Beauty Is

Budding blossoms blooming
Enchanting emerald eyes
Autumn’s amazing abundance
Understanding that unifies
Tiny tots a-toddling
Youthful yearnings of yesteryear—

Inspiration’s
Secret sauce!...

This morning I am on my way
To teach another long, hard day.
My stomach's often tied in knots
Before I face those screaming tots
With untied shoes and runny noses,
My job is not a bed of roses,
And yet my heart keeps telling me
There's no place else I'd rather be....

TODDLER’S TEATIME

Buttered bread spread with juicy jam
Brings back memories of toddler’s teas,
Little lives so simple then,
When we were still young and fancy free.
Tried telling today’s tots;
Gave plum preserve on fresh baked bread.
Grandkids groaned. Want McDonalds Mac!...

Thank God for Elastic
As my waist is expanding 
At a rate of knot's 
That the Jelly Tots 
I am continually stuffing
Into my face
Cannot keep pace
With the clothes Ive discovered 
That live in my cupboard 
No longer fit
My large posterior 
But with the help of elastic
They fit fantastic 
Jelly Tot anyone...

Last days at the playground
Kiddies squealing with delight
Before the rangers take down swings
And cover the merry-go-round
With waterproof canvassing.
Tots return to their playrooms at home
And dream of Santa Claus's bounty
Which will come, but seems forever--
Seemed forever when I was a kid.

Children up for adoption
caught my eye.
I saw them on TV.
I easily cry!

Abandoned babies,
tots and teens,
smiling bravely,
waving "Hi!"
But I saw sad crosses
in their eyes.

Children begging to be chosen.
Look!  Look!
into their eyes.

Ten tiny trinkets,
Teeny tiny tots,
Treasuring the teey tiny towns,
Tidying up theire teeny tiny thoughts
Trendy traditional themes,
Inside these teeny tiny walls,
Build from teeny tiny people,
And there teeny tiny toys,
To think a thought,
Who do you think I may be?
A hint is for you,
Is nothings out in the blue,
Just for you......

Small droplets of pleasure bring me joy,
Like tiny tots discovering a brand new toy.
Such a blessing to find hidden treasure,
Life surprises me in unexpected measure.
Happiness comes in moments of wonder,
Casting my most annoying cares asunder.
Bathing me in blessings from God above,
Showering me with His everlasting love.

What she needs,
I simply can't provide
I'm just small potatoes to her
She wants to live big,
live first class
Live luxuriously
Those designer shoes she desires,
oh my,
would cost a week's salary
When a woman think you're small potatoes,
she don't think much about you
When she only has eyes for the big spuds,
find another girl who loves tater tots too...
