OOMPALAPILLAR
How many legs has an oompalapillar,
More, much more than a caterpillar;
The first one’s to admire,
The second one follows to require,
An answer, what is? an oompalapillar.

    Grand-daughters are fun, aren't they? Our youngest is five, the oldest is 30 and just had a baby last Friday.
