Twas the Day Before Summer

Twas the night before summer and all through the house all the kids were jumping even my spouse! The bikes were pumped and the lawns were mowed the chalk was opened to write hopscotch code. My house was a disaster with mud in every nook all the shoes in disaray not a coat on a hook Try as I might I just could not get my kids to pick up anything not even toy lids! Then a commotion met my ear, little Rachel had fallen down She had tried to copy Jason Who was being a big clown. The crying stopped everyones big summer rush poor little Jason, soon his tears started to gush. I picked up little Rachel I held her closely tight I dried her little tears and made everything right. Amidst all the summer glee I learned that the mess was not that important but to be childlike was blessed. Twas the night before summer and all through the house All the kids were jumping even my husbands spouse. ** Based on Twas the night before christmas
