I don't do poetry (gasp) and I haven't read this book, but I remember my mother reading this poem to my sisters and me many years ago! #augustphotochallenge #poetry

Mayread This book was quoted at me ENDLESSLY. My grandma had tortured my dad w it & he did the same to me. I got called Poutine (the goop who pouts), but all it did was make me a voracious eater of poutine later in life. Mmm. Fries, cheese curds, & gravy. Perfect for wiping on a table cloth. 8y
