The most patient girl in the world and her sisters came a knockin’ at our door.
The Princess sighed, “Puh-lease don’t make us go outside and play. It’s much too hot.”
I answered the door, Hello girls. It’s too hot to play outside.
“We know. We have a slip and slide but we don’t have any lawn.”
I looked at them, WE have a lawn!
“We know.”
So they ran home and brought back their slick, yellow armful of fun.
And fun we had.
Addendum: Mr. Powell – you’re quite right. I had surprisingly great form that day. Literally. From behind.
