PawPaw, No Fair, That's Cheating!

Yes Spring has come to the land,

Mother Nature has shed her coat,

time to get off the couch and do what matters most. Live and have fun!

So I am out catching up on the chores and second duty, granddaughter watch,

prune here, rake there, now where has that little tike gone?

Perhapes if I give these little hands something to occupy,

why the best thing is a little water, yes that will bring a smile.

So here is the battle ground as the scene unfolds.

She has a little pail, I have the garden hose.

Her duty, quite simple,place some water on the plants,

end result however, water on PawPaw's pants!

So only to even the score, mind you no harm intended,

was to give the little tike a squirt and the battle would have ended.

Oh no, not today! This little tink has got some guts!

Why with every squirt I give that girl, I get a pail of slosh!

So of course, being the elder here and quite mature I say,

I give that girl her monies worth and let out a real good spray!

Soon the chores are all forgotten and the plants need water no more,

end of the day I can say she may have even tied the score!

Wow how much water do these pampers hold?!
