I’m having such a bad hair day!
Don’t even know what to wear day!
I’m sleepy and I’m yawning…
And washing my face didn’t wake me.
I took a brush to my hair to straighten
- But nothing seems to help.
I tried,
I tried,
And tried some more
Then let out a sigh…
Such an appealing smell invades my nose
I cannot wait to take a taste!
I spent this morning and afternoon
Kneading dough and placing icing on some cakes.
I made many rolls, some cupcakes, and pastries -
Marbled brownies and cookies fill a shelf.
You would think all of this was made for a crowd…
But Nope!
It’s all for myself!
I took a stroll one afternoon
To a park around the block from me.
A new neighborhood site
the city seemed to have built overnight
And that’s when I saw an old tree
A giant compared to those around
A trunk that was so wide.
I sat under it for a moment
To take a break -
From the heat
I wanted to hide.
So many branches and large leaves
And its roots ran real long
It’s bark was rough and furrowed
But held many birds that sang a song.
On a hot sunny day
I thought a trip to the beach would be quite nice.
I packed up all of my belongings
and even thought I’d take my bike.
I made a few sandwiches -
Some lemonade and tea.
Packed a few extra
In case someone would want to eat with me
I arrived very quickly
Set my blanket in the sand
Started eating a delicious lunch
But it was taken out of my bare hands
A seagull was just spying
While flying way high above
Took my lunch away from me
A sandwich that I loved.
One evening while I was snoring
I was awakened by a clawing
A scratching and a gnawing
I wondered what it was that could
Be making such a noise
So I arose and started searching
Looking over and underneath
Shifting all of my belongings
Looking beneath my bare feet
And guess what it was
That was making such a racket
Not sure how it made it in my room -
A tiny bunny rabbit.
It is quite the sight to see
If I do say so myself.
When the playground is filled with chatter
Kids pick me up
And make me feel so flattered.
They sing so many songs -
Various melodies fill the air.
“A goose drank wine?”
“A Grandma is sick?”
And
“An elephant jumped so high?”
They spin me around
While jumping up and down
Until the bell is rung…
And at the end of the day
I must say we’ve had so much fun!
