For Deirdre On Her Birthday

Well, look at it this way Deirdre, you could be dead.
And you can toast your toes on all those candles.
And in no time at all you'll be a granny.
Granny Deirdre!

"This little ... cow, went to market. This little cow..."

"Eeney meeny miney mo, catch the ... the ... kitten! by the toe."

"Cuchy, cuchy, cuchy coo!"

You got it spot on!! Nanny Moo Moo to distinguish me from Nanny Rosie...the name of her dog! Lots of eenie meenies and this little pig not to mention messing with paint , creating bubbles , walks to the 'big water' to throw stones in i.e. the river at the foot of our lane etc etc. You have it all to look forward to and it's great..the icing on the cake.
Deirdre
