What's Better Than Neices or Nephews?



"What’s better than nieces and nephews?"
She was asked one bright sunny day.
Is it traveling to some exotic place?
Or eating creme brulee?

Is it hiking on some mountain high?
Or eating Joel’s pistachio pie?
Is it watching a balloon float up to the sky?
Or thinking you feel like you could fly?

"What’s better than nieces and nephews?"
Her list showed not a one,
so with her fingers pulled back, but one finger and thumb,
a wink in her eye, said "lets have some fun".

Luscious chocolate covered, custard filled, pastry of goodness.
