Hide and Seek

Hide and seek is a child's game played while
Adults oversee.
With Sandy
The blood hound
Resting under a near by tree.
Randy
Who is first up has closed his eyes 
Counting one... two..... three.
One child yells don't peek. You can hear
Children moving all around.
As the seeker is listening intensely
He yells out is everyone where they want 
To be?
Ready or not here I come for thee.
There's always one who makes not a sound
Touches the tree
Then yells I am home free.
Now three 
Have gotten past me.
There is still more ground
To cover as another child trys to get past.
At last
All Children are found.
The first child caught is the seeker while
The last one is the winner of this round.

what a cute description of this game from my past. My favorite of all was kickball where they rolled the ball right to your foot!
