Can You See
My child asks. What do you see in the walls?
My reply was I can't see anything at all.
My child pointed and said Look Mom there's
The buffalo head looking proud,
Over there's an alien waving to you from a cloud,
Here's the kitten who is very sweet
Looking at you from under a sheet,
Can you see the giraffe that never says a thing?
I believe she can sing.
In the background you can see the wolf with his
Head up ready to howl.
Please, tell me
You can see
These things now.
I was amazed as I said Oh! My goodness I can
But, let's finish drying your hands with this towel.
Try to find the water fowl.
It was fun examing our walls.
I am so excited about this that I'm going to tell
The next person who calls.
Well! Not all.
Some adults can be rather small
Minded as I recall.
