Hm.  Who wrote this poem???

I mean...MY grandfather used to tell us stories about when HE was a "little
girl" and the only one who would totally flip out was my little sister
(even my cousins remember her reaction <grin>)   

The rest of us somehow must have known that he was "kidding".   

Maybe this attitude or concept presented to those of a grandchild age was
more common than We thought?   I, to be totally honest, was a bit
astonished at the poem as it seemed a bit TOO familiar.

<grin>

Of course, there is the concept of "play" in Life, is there not?

Best,
marlena 
(who has now since been reminded of a charming man who made his
grandchildren laugh when he would tell his stories...and who also remembers
her grandfather's brothers:  "Tom, Dick, and Harry...and Harry was a
horse"...)
