'Twas the 11th of June, and all through the house, Grammie Patti and Grandpa Tom were skittering around like a couple of mouses. ...and Grandpa had hauled over to the Dollar Tree to pick up a batch of wonderful one-dollar balloons, ...in preparation for a birthday party the following afternoon. ...as a surprise to greet a couple of soon-to-be arriving little mouses. But no problem, we waited at the gate with all the other folks waiting for someone: a relative, a friend, a business associate, a mate. Their faces, how they shown, their eyes, how they sparkled, when the loved one they awaited finally disembarkled! We rounded up the luggage a quick as were were able, And soon we were home, Tommy arrived, and we were all sitting just like happy old times, After dinner the little ones dove into the play clothes, ...and the toys, and went straight to their work. And I heard them exclaim 'ere I turned out the light, "Grammie, tell us a story!" What a wonderful night. *With apologies to Clement C. Moore and all decent poets.
