Ode to Play

Playing all day, every day.
Every day, I don’t do anything.
Snoozing, snacking, swimming in May.
Sizzling, steaming, scorching, summer is everything.

Skipping, jumping all around.
Do I love to play? Yes, yes, yes!
I play even when Mommy says I can’t.

I swim with pink dolphins in the river.
I play hide and seek with foxes and chipmunks in the meadow.
I jump in muddy puddles in the rain.

My playmate is my floppy-eared hound.
Sometimes I play imaginary, but sometimes I am an actress.
I love to play, it makes me pant!
