i'm hiding, i'm hiding
and no one knows where;
for all they can see is my
toes and my hair
and i just heard my father
say to my mother -
"but, darling, he must be
somewhere or other;
have you looked in the inkwell?"
and mother said, "where?"
"in the INKWELL?" said father. but
i was not there.
then "wait!" cried my mother —
"i think that i see
him under the carpet." but
it was not me.

Those are absolutely the CUTEST pics to go with that poem!! You need a make a poster for Samuel and give to him when he's older. I've never read that poem myself! It's great!
I thought you wrote those lines to go with the pictures! They gel perfectly!!!
I memorized that poem for a speaking competition when I was little! Best ever. And Sam complements it perfectly. :)
I've never heard that poem before but it is SO darling with the photos of Sam!
Very cute! A poster in his room would suit very well.
It's been years since I thought of this poem. Beautiful pictures.
