Big A, little a, what begins with a? Aunt Annie's alligator...a, a, a!...
Big Y little Y yawning yellow yak...young Yolanda Yorgenson is yelling on his back!
Praying!
Psalms 5:1-3 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

Oh...and then there's "Grandma Tildy lived all alone. She worked hard every day! She had no time to play! On day a man came to her house. He was selling pets! "Would you like to buy a canary bird?" asked the man? "Okay" said Grandma Tildy, "but NO ELEPHANTS!"
Thank you for this. I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day.
