TWO-WAY TESSIE

by

Elizabeth V Roach

"Who is this girl? She's on her way somewhere.  Didn't she have time to comb her hair?"

"Well, it's not tangled, so maybe it will settle down pretty when she stops running. She  has a mischievous, intent  look about her. She is going somewhere but her hair is going somewhere else!  I call her Two-way Tessie." 

Two-way Tessie

 sometimes looks messy.

but she also knows

how to be dressy,

when the days

are not too stressy.
