Scutterbotch Flutterbys & Pollylops…
“Papa, you sure you know where the Pet Shop is?”
“Yup, but you have to help me find a sparking pot.”
“Parking spot, silly… I will.”
“I am really surprised your mom said you could have a guppy.”
“Puppy, papa, she said I could have a puppy, not a guppy!”
“Oh, I think my hearing is going bad on me.”
We found a place in the shade under the trees and got out.
“The churds are birping, that sounds nice.”
“Birds, papa, you are silly sometimes!”
“Oh, papa, look at all the puppies in the window!”
We went from cage to cage inside.
“Oh, papa! There are some baby runny babbits!”
The little girl stopped short and turned to me with mischief in her eyes.
“Baby Girl?”
“Papa?” She teased.

this is, as everyone has said, cute. I frequently wonder, and please take no offense to this (I wonder this about all of my writing)... what makes something "poetry." I know that sounds funny, but this is poetry, and for no distinguished reason (not in a bad way).

Truly the reason we write
this is whymsical and timeless. Something I'll read to my children and they'll giggle. Dad... these are the memories that last a life time.. shooting ya-buts (ka-pow) and crying watermelon. I'll remember forever. Who would have ever thought that these things.. the little things would be what is remembered. Its not the gifts its the moments.. time spent laughing together. You taught me that... love you
