 Quadrille - Spin

Come now children sit thee in a circle

I'll spin a yarn, yes i'll tell a tale

No one will leave until i say crick crack

And the story ends.


Tales of dounes and silk cotton trees

And spiders spinning their very finest web

  6. I know you read to kids at school so I imagine you there telling the tale. I think there is a "universal ending" in fairy tales, be it crick crack, snip snap snout the tale is told out, or they lived happily ever after for 3 of them.

  9. You have captured the way that children give rapt attention to adult storytellers who treat them like they matter and weave tales that speak to their imaginations. Nice!
