Selections from Trella Romine's library at Terradise Nature Center
You struggle for–and get–attention
With more tricks than I’ve space to mention.
You nod, you wink, you smirk, you pose;
You pirouette on twinkling toes;
You play up dolly’s vaccination;
You monopolize the conversation.
Into my pride of you, small elf,
One saddened note intrudes itself:
Here sits your dad, ex-life-of-party,
Eclipsed by his three-year-old smarty!
by Ray Romine Tuesday, August 29, 1950
