Sweetness



she’s got herself covered

blueberry stained fingerprints
chocolate smeared front teeth
her dress smells of honey
and mama’s Boston cream

she stuffs her cheeks to hold her tongue
but all of the treats in the world
could not make her any more
a sweet little girl

    Little girls are cute, loving and sweet and everything nice
    While boys are clumsy, shabby and love puppy dog tails !
