She talked and talked and talked and talked some more.
Whew, what child is this hanging around
Granny Green’s corner store.
I tried to walk quietly not to make myself heard.
I shopped in the back and didn’t say a word.
I heard a creak behind me, afraid to turn around.
Oh oh, it’s that kid Mellie, she’s making baby sounds.
She laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed some more
I just wanted to make it back through the stores front door.
Mellie talked and talked, and laughed and drooled upon the floor.
Finally Granny Green came and picked that little kid up.
Mellie turned, looked me in the face, grinned so naughtily,
while she pointed her finger and stuck her tongue out at me.
I looked around but there was no one else there to see.
Absolutely grand, wonderful, marvelous~~~any and every adjective of praise you could come up with wouldn't do this one justice. It's a keeper and is coming with me in a few days to Chicago, to be read to the wee ones. Thanks for this one. I simply love it. ~~~~~~marci.xo~~~
I'm back on poemhunter, I wonder if you are still here. I just want to take this time to say thank you for sharing my poem with the children.....

I would like to translate this poem
Excellent pace. If it's (just) a children's poem I must be a child. :) t x
