PAD 28-3

 Remix of Tell Me a Story


Tell Me a Story

 

My little daughter said to me

Tell me a story please

So every night I’d tell her of

My home among the trees

 

Of my four sisters, cousins, too.

Of playing hide-n-seek

Of walking on our homemade stilts

And splashing in the creek

 

Of sled-riding and snowball fights

Pretend games that we’d play

Like Gilligan Island or spies

And playing lawn croquet

 

Of how we got our Duppy dog

Of hayrides on back roads

Of the all-girls Sunflower club

Of catching frogs and toads

 

I would tell them and retell them

She knew them all by heart

Yes, she fell in love with stories

Right from the very start
