' ' ' ' ' ' Tower Of Babels (For Lyn)

Rating: 2.6


Takes all her building blocks
(she's got a lot)

stacks 'em un-
-til the tower totters

(higher than herself now
she on tippytoe on a chair now)

'Don't falls! '
'Don't falls! '
she cajoles 'em

as they...stutter
stammer

not able to
prounounce

an upright position
&

...fall

(deliciously in slow)
motion then speeding up into

...crash!

'Oh! They fells! '
'They fells! '
she hollers.

Mummy Dearest
smiles & tells

Daddy Darling
he had better tell

his little girl

how to get
a better grip

on plurals.

Or a bottle of rubber cement to glue her world back together? For we know, Daddy Darling can repair most everything, except, of course, for a broken heart? Wonderful work!
