M IS FOR MOM
When the kids help clean, it makes Mom grin.
She's got lots to do, which keeps her slim.

N IS FOR NUMBERS
I have two daughters and only two hands,
Too little time and too many demads.

Caroline couldn't resist adding:
I have seven friends, and my age is eight.
I'll be starting third grade, and I just can't wait.

"That's 14 down and 12 to go," Caroline piped. "Let's take three each again and see how it goes. Get ready, Dad, 'cause I'm all warmed-up now!"

O IS FOR OLDER
When I get older, I wouldn't mind a safari,
But even more, I'd pick a Ferrari.

P IS FOR PEACE
I'll now reveal two personal facts.
Peaceful for me is both alone and with cats.

Q IS FOR QUESTIONS
Can I have that? Dad will hear
Zillions of times throughout the year.
