Diy For a Carousel of Dreams
Covid 19 leaves restless kiddies with parents’ imagination at home
So why not create fantasy in the lounge for a resilient pleasure dome
Grannies’ chest of drawers comes alive as a goal with lace for a net
No offside rule here as she watches from above and hedges a bet
Please clear all those trinkets and porcelain figures from the top
Ronaldo needs safe play when beating isolation from the penalty spot
Magic carpets swirl kindly when Daddy turns on that powerful hoover
A broom for propulsion transforms into a practical boredom remover
Chandeliers are useful for swinging from when tedium starts to beckon
But they are intricate carousels and swirl pleasure round don’t you reckon
Hang on tight and beware of the hard floor made from antique floor tiles
If you land softly play hop scotch and twister to keep busy for a while
Monopoly puzzles and scrabble are more entertaining than news from TV
Planes crafted from newspaper are not only useful for that piddle or wee
The circus has come to town and first prize goes to Mom’s swivel chair
Stand two to a seat and close eyes for heightened senses if you so dare
Make you own Rubik cube from scrap and swirl the brain tease ad infinitum
Imagine you’re on a spell rollercoaster make new words like squanticotycon
Musical chairs come in handy to the sound of overt defiance over the virus
Compared to computer games ballet or dance on the piano are more desirous
With a tool kit and Mom’s motor bike craft crankshafts gears and bearing
The sky is the limit with spokes from wheels and hooter for emergency flaring
Suspension rods invite to navigate back paddle and circle from kitchen to loo
And please save paper rolls for teammates to wipe sweat from their brows too
