Parade of Paper Boats

Boats are pretty,

treading water.

behind each other,

just so..

Armada like no other

kings and queens

rule these waves.

Then a big crash!

Boats went flying!

Grandpa played king,

He's a tyrant!

An Angry Giant

(who was Mama)

STOMPED

waters high!

(the King sreams like a little girl!)

Don't be scared,

it's just Mama,

Being silly.

To Emily and Maura,
my own little darlings,
with the greatest affection a Mama can have.
I love you girls.
