Scandalous

Bedtime was scandalous!
You know Beatrix Potter’s
Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, right?
Oh, my!
I never pointed out the naughty fox
and his sly ways.
I never explained what Ms. Potter meant
when she called Jemima Puddle-Duck
a simpleton.
But tonight I had to explain about
the fox misleading the duck.
I had to explain about the collie
and pups saving the duck.
Oh the scandal when he realized the
fox wasn’t nice!
