Dónall Dempsey - YEAH, RIGHT!

I explain
the difference

(“Children, are you listening! ”)

between
same &
different.

We’ve already discovered:

“That Cathy is a lady...”

“... & Donall is a man! ”

says little Zak in a deep Barry White type voice.

“Good...good! ”
I cajole them into knowing.

I lightly tap
Zak’s tight curls

- pointing out the obvious -

“Your hair is
short
whilst my hair is...”

“Yes...yes! ”
I nudge him on

awaiting his answer
whether it be curly or long.

Zak beams
as the answer dawns:

”...is grey! ”
