Gripped by shoulds and why nots
Coulds and camolots
Little minds inquire
Fairies dancing    enchanted forests
Frolicing with woods creatures
They dare
Thoughts to play with
And revel in the joy of diversion
Whimsical playmates
Placid and contemplative --
Dance  the tisket a tasket
Without the yellow basket
Or prancing around  the rose bush
Without falling down
Merry little breezes tumble  and
Toss my friends
Bruises allowed filling in the blanks
Mother may I whenSimon said
Come my child step here or there
And I did what Simon said

Favorite, "Mother may I when Simon said,"
Words we have all heard and said, but not
in the order that you have put them in.
Well done, Thomasena.

Always,
Deborah

I love the use of timeworn lines… Especially if they are spruced up a bit… Changed a little… And renewed with humor.

Oh my, this was for sure a whimsical piece using old sayings and adages, some not quite they way they were originally penned, but still . . . Loved, loved this great little play on words, Thomasena . . .
