Elsie From Portugal- Aged 2 And A Bit. Poem by Geoffrey Fafard

Elsie From Portugal- Aged 2 And A Bit.



Its time to play with me Grandpa some shop
You can buy from me anything I have got
Have you a house for my turtle Nero
Yes Grandpa but it will cost you twenty euro
This little thing with her euros and dollars
Then charges me twenty for some turtle collars
And twenty for the turtles dinner
Darling, I cry, he will soon be thinner
Cause I can't afford your euro shop
For the prices my dear are over the top
But Grandpa Grandpa I will smile at you
Then you will pay twenty times two!
