NAMING KIDS AFTER BUMPA


This is a poem children's story
written in series. It begins with
the poem: Magic Waterfalls under Shadow Mountains

More under the Waterfall:


If you have read this long you might be
asking quite legit-ably, why the boys are
named with initials? If your Bumpa was vain
enough to name you after him. Your future
looking grim, and his name was Theodora John,
you too in this world would think you didn't
belong. It would be better to be named after
animals in the zoo. You might go for initials
too. The legend in of this family how it grew.
Back to the children traipsing down the slew.

Thus rebuffed by his elders, TJ, the smartest
of the travelers was forced to go along as an observer
Thus for him quite an unnerver. The first thing
they must do is find the direction Mom and Dad
were lost. Was it TJ who suggested a coin was
tossed? Now Bumpa, Theodora John, often lectured
the way to find home was to follow a stream down
hill, but for those seeking adventure that would
be a bitter pill. We will go uphill said the eldest
kid considered in his vanity to be boss. Not as
dumb as it would seem if Mom and Dad were really
lost.
