Reminds me of my Mary and how she had ours and all the neighbor kids clean as a spirit. Well done Brooke, caught our Sawyer at one of his awkward times.

Brooke:
Amazing stories that all the kids can relate to. Except,
with my girls, I used to roll their hair like a chocolate kiss. After they got soapy in the whirlpool, they had to take a shower to get the soap off. I like your primrose path and the naked in the bath. Precious photos and so fun.

Comment from Adri7enne
Poor 'put upon' little lad! LOL!
I opened this post, thinking I had opened another poet's message. The kid looked so familiar, and then it dawned on me it was definitely Sawyer. I wondered if the poet had got your permission to use it. Then I spotted Sawyer's picture on the side....It finally dawned on me I had opened the message for your post. LOL! I can be so distracted sometimes. Of course I would have recognized your style by the second line. No one rhymes quite as well as our Brooke. Good job, girl!!!

OH, Brooke, I can't stop laughing. This is so cute. I don't know how you keep coming up with these sweet poems, but don't quit. I love reading them. The look on his face is just so precious. :>D Miss Sally

Oh that wicked nice mom! Now Sawyer has plenty of evidence for his corporal, or mental abuse. Just kidding! I like families that make fun. Good riddance.

Comment from Bill Schott
These paired triplets, especially with their modifications, take an already fun idea and build into a hugely humorous, super, Alfalfa-channeled poem with cool hair.

Comment from JavaJunkie
This poem has a little bit of a different feel from your other work...it fees fun and fresh:). Pinning the blame is a cute way of describing the transgressions committed on both sides of the parent child relationship:)

Comment from Rubylou
I learn so much about the forms of poetry by reading works such as yours.
I read up on a triolet as I am not so familiar with it.
I absolutely love the picture that as always complements your work.
I wish I had a picture of when my daughter gave my son a haircut. She made a smiley face on the back of his head with a razor. She didn't tell him and he went to school. (High School!)
Your poem reminded me of this and I had to laugh.
Thanks for a great read.

Thanks so much, Rubylou- I bet her son was bewildered when all his classmates started laughing at the back of his head. LOL I appreciate your generous sixth star :-) Brooke
Comment from Dave Russell
Some of my fondest memories of raising Austin took place during bath time. Your rhyming is, of course, awesome as ever. Before his first haircut, his hair was long enough to spike up like this. Thank you for the memory.

Comment from BLACKDYKE
And they are laughing Brooke. What a
fun poem after your modifications.
I don't know about ludicrous, but
looking gorgeous I might add. Another
readable double triolet. Eric
