Happy To You

They bounce upon a trampoline And climb and charge at bubbles. When watching pre-school kids convene You might forget your troubles. For as they scamper, scoot and slide Their joy is quite contagious Except those glued to mommy’s side, Too shy or not courageous. A birthday party at a gym Is fun and not too taxing For chances of a mess are slim So parents are relaxing. At playtime’s end, the pizza shows; Then cake has its debut time. We sing the song that Hadley* knows Is her “Happy to you!” time. *my just-turning-2 year old granddaughter, who has been singing this song for weeks
