Summer Fun---Grammer School Days

The day was hot as red rose sunny We gathered eggs from holes like a bunny Down to the grocer’s store we went Sold our eggs funds on candies spent With grandma abed off comes the coat On goes the sneakers shaped like a boat Big brother goes racing up to the gate The youngest trying to be quiet shout wait Round the corner comes the show truck Reels of movies in boxes securely tuck Hercules Ben Hur High Noon Dracula and such We saw them o’er and o’er he hadn’t much Big brother hops on the truck going up the hill The youngest and I ran behind we know the drill Hopping onto trucks is a skill perfected by boys We girls had to be content playing with toys Inside the show house the movie starts Everyone must hear our throbbing hearts Written Sept. 8 2012 For Craig's contest: Summer Fun
