Long Toes

Has small feet but very large toes
He can’t play hide and seek
‘Cause his sneakers won’t sneak
He leaves toe prints wherever he goes

Good Fortune

May 4, 2010Mary Jo5 Comments on Good Fortune

A pebble or bean,
something small and unseen,
found a hole and had somehow got through.

Seems Like Simple

April 21, 2010July 2, 2021Mary Jo3 Comments on Seems Like Simple
