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! Continue reading Ode to Play
