Bring Your Wagons Balls and Dolls

Bring your wagons, balls and dolls.
Leave your I-phones in the halls.
Your glitter and paint is welcome here.
I-pads not. They give no cheer.

Subliminal clips daily ruin your mood.
Encouraging you to be violent and crude.
Bring your wagons, dolls and balls.
Leave electronic devices in those malls.

I like this, Caren! I do believe children were happier when they had to use their imaginations instead of zoning out on media. Blessings, Kim

I am fearful of the subliminal clips they are getting that seem to turn them into "hooked zombies" to the I-things.
