Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper and Phyllis like to remember things from their long-ago childhoods, and the keeper offers the following which he thinks might be appropriate at this time:
“Little Boy Blue
Come blow your horn
The sheep’s in the meadow
The cow’s in the corn.
Where is that boy?
Who looks after the sheep?
Under the haystack
Fast asleep.
Will you wake him?
Oh no, not I,
For if I do
He will surely cry.”
Maybe tomorrow the keeper will offer “Old Mother Hubbard.”
