My World

Hail...eat all of the leaves in my yard
... and bounce on the lily pads.
Clouds...listen to all of my commands
...and dance with the birds
Bogs...sing for all of your friends
...and harmonize with the frogs.
Pond...bike to the top of the mountain
...and soar over the cliff
Sleet...taste my mom’s new soup
...and then spend the night.
Sewer...tell me what you do for a living
...and then we’ll wish on a star.
Snow...march in your own band
...then we’ll swim on the shore.
Ice...move over so I can sit down
...we can share a blanket.
Ocean...show me how to catch fish
...and I’ll show you my hamster.
Fog...roll all over the Mississippi River
...and play tag with the paddle boats.
Rain...dream all about your favorite things
...and I’ll dream about mine.
