I built an awesome arsenal

Folded paper into ninja stars and claws

No one will stand a chance!

I peeped this spider weaving

As sunlight shimmered down

Silver twine latching onto

Vibrant leaves 

Busy spinning

An intricate web. 

So intricate and unique

Each and every one

They fall from the sky

And I stand 

with my mouth and hands 

open to greet them

Ears cold

Nose wet

I catch them

And they melt. 

A little musical jingle

As a truck steers down the cul-de-sac 

The excitement from kids

As they yell and cheer right back

Ice Cream, Ice Cream,

We all scream for Ice Cream!!

Can be heard in the neighborhood

The truck stops

And tiny hands exchange

Quarters, dimes, and nickels

For Pushup pops, Popsicles and ice cream cups.

I cut ‘em up 

My melons

Cut ‘em up!

I cut ‘em up 

my melons 

Cut em up!

I cut em up

To make a fruit cup.

Today a toad told me.

To take the time to tell you.

If you would like to travel to a time

Where Knights and Dragons,

Princesses and Kings..

Inhabit a wondrous world you could find.

Then all you have to do is -

Look inside a book.

It’ll take you anywhere

You could ever want to go

Just let your imagination roam!!!

And then you can tell toad

All about your journey

Your wonderful, wonderful trip

Everything you saw.

Everyplace you went

Now let it all begin.
