How Teeter and Totter Came Together

Steven West
Teeter was always up.

Totter was always down.

They never saw eye to eye

Until they hit the ground.

Teeter was strong and bold.

Totter was weak and afraid.

Teeter liked lots of adventures.

Totter would rather hide in a cave.

Teeter was a big talker.

Totter was extremely shy.

Teeter was a flashy dresser.

Totter was a conservative guy.

Teeter liked to spend money.

Totter liked to save.

Teeter was wild and scruffy.

Totter always shaved.

Teeter and Totter

Bumped into each other

On a cold and windy day.

Teeter and Totter

Connected with each other,

And together they became

Teeter Totter.
