Little Girls -- A Haiku and a Limerick

Meagan (right) with Jackie White, Metamora, MI, circa 1980

Oh, tiny biddies,

What captures your attention?

Perhaps a kitten?

***

Or is it the dog

Nipping at the horse's heels?

(She'd better be quick!)

***

What are you saying...

Planning the afternoon meal?

A trip to the mall?

***

Must be serious,

Whatever holds you captive --

So big; you, so small!

*****************************************

There once were two little lasses

So young, they went not to classes;

But spent, rather, their day

Plotting their play.

(They basically sat on their asses.)
