DAILY SNACK
There was a little graduation ceremony,
Replete with a three-song performance,
For Colum’s two-week-long kindergarten readiness program.
He’d been practicing these call-back songs for days.
In the car he started to sing them again.
But this time he got Irene to echo every line.
“With their hands in their pockets,”
“Anns in pockis”
“And their pockets in their pants,”
“And pockis in panz,”
“All the little fishies doing the hootchie kootchie dance.”
“Fissies do kootzy kootzy dense.”
It was pretty much the cutest thing I’ve ever heard.
