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.

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
