Escapade Bouquet

Let's shake loose grown-up do's, go out and play.
My love, let's turn our somber needs to young.
This sunny day's our escapade bouquet.

Let's play to stay life's cheer upon our gray.
This day's high lovely clouds are fluffy strung.
Let's shake loose grown-up do's, go out and play.

We two can scheme as leafy branches sway
or race-eat ice cream using just the tongue.
This sunny day's our escapade bouquet.

We'll frolic in fun streams with splash-slapped sprays.
Hummed melodies from nature will be sung.
Let's shake loose grown-up do's, go out and play.

Our playfulness we must not let decay.
We'll chase the day as giggles fill our lungs.
This sunny day's our escapade bouquet.

We'll lay on grass and let our fancies stray.
Adulthood tossed, our spirits will be sprung. 
Let's shake loose grown-up do's, go out and play.
This sunny day's our escapade bouquet.

Amen to that ! Too much adult in too many of us, I suppose. Nicely expressed, CC.
