A Mom and Me Day!

Vol. 1  Chap. 17

                   A Mom and Me Day!

              Hey, Hey, My Name is Audrey Mae!

              Thursday was a Mom and Me Day!

              We Headed to the Nail Salon

              And Let Them Slather Sparkles On!

                              

              The Cutest Nails They’d Ever Seen!

              They Treated Us Each Like a Queen!

              Leaving, We Picked Up the Pace ‘n

              Bought Nintendo and a Case In

              Case We Should Ever Shut It Down!

              Trust Me, That’s No Day I’m Around!

              Mom Planned Out Such a Special Day!

              We Swam, Dined Out and By the Way,

              Mom Had One Last Surprise for Me,

              Two Hula Hoops for Moi, You See!

              At First I Wasn’t Quite the Best!

              I Practiced Hard!   Gave It No Rest!

              Now Both Hoops Spin When I Gyrate

              Or Walk, or Run or Jump!   It’s Great!

              ‘Neath Red Curls, My Smile’s on Full Beam!

              And My Nails Glitter and They Gleam!

                                           

              While My Mom Plays My Nintendo

              I Roll My Hips and My Endo!

              I Go Hula Hoopie Loopie!

              Just Ask My Iz!   She’s My Groupie!
