Secret Message for Grandma
I lick the icky envelope tape
I seal it with my cartoon stamp
and plaster it with superhero stickers.
I'm sharing my top-secret message here,
Assured with my signet and signature.
I secure the mailbox lid
I lift the flag for speedy delivery
Classified -
“Grandma, my heart belongs to you!”
“Shh, top secret...from your favorite Grandson!”
I seal it with my cartoon stamp
and plaster it with superhero stickers.
I'm sharing my top-secret message here,
Assured with my signet and signature.
I secure the mailbox lid
I lift the flag for speedy delivery
Classified -
“Grandma, my heart belongs to you!”
“Shh, top secret...from your favorite Grandson!”
