First Day

I’ll give her an apple that’s what mom said, Girls like apples She’ll smile and eat it and give me a star The others will wail and cry and growl I want a star I want a star But she'll just say quiet and they’ll all stop She'll say look and point to the clock And we’ll all gather Sit and listen To a tale she spins from air Her hands moving fast and voice changing too Captivated we sit We listen Little statues with eyes that shine Rainbow candy falling fast In the land of here and past Goblins dancing round and round Princess locked inside the town Big bad wolf, pigs and frogs Pumpkin turned into a coach I'll raise my hand and say My mom said Girls like apples She will smile
