The Hafnotts + The Ayntgotts + The Rose Bush Looking Glass

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The  Hafnott family

and the Ayntgott family

each with cans of pork and beans

were picknicking

in the park

A row of rosebushes

separated the families

The Hafnotts

looked at the Ayntgotts

and vice versa

Mr. Hafnott said

"You are no different from us"

Mr. Ayntgott said

"You is the same as us"

Mrs. Hafnott said

"The only difference..."

"...is some silly syllables"

replied Mrs. Ayntgott

Then the  families

gathered their resources together,

sitting at a table

in the middle of the rose bushes

:::

After eating,

their children played games

in the park

while the parents

sat and talked and laughed

until the sun went down
