We all sat upon the starting line
Everybody was in place
Ready to run around
And finish a mile
At the fastest pace
It was an early morning event
On a Saturday
A loud whistle then went off
And we all went on our way
The patter of our feet on concrete
Quite an appealing sound
We all enjoyed the race we ran
The applause from the crowd rang out real loud
I have the most amazing story to tell you!!!
I mean it’s quite a fascinating scene.
There was a nest in the window
With a bird that would sing
One morning I caught a glimpse of eggs -
I counted….maybe four?
They all started to crack and shake
My eyes waiting for more
I gasped and was very startled
As a beak began to show
Eight tiny beady eyes greeting me….
And to them
I said Hello!
A teacher had once told me
Their favorite field trip
Was unlike any other
They went to see
What had to be -
Every fish you could find
in the deep blue sea.
But I took that as a shock
‘Cause there’s one thing they forgot.
There was that time
We stood in line
To see a Zebra mop.
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.
