Mr. Dan Makes Things

Mr. Dan is such a happy man, He makes wooden things with his hands. He makes toy boats and awesome trucks, And the best, life-like wooden ducks. Once he made mom a pair of swans, That she placed on our front lawn. He made grandma a lovely white cart, Then painted on it pretty pink hearts. He made my sister a nice blue bench, That we sit on by the fence. Next he made dad, a wooden duck, Then told him, it would bring him luck. For me, he made the coolest kite, That went up and up right out of sight! Yes, Mr. Dan is such a wonderful man, I wish I could make things with my hands. I would make Mr. Dan his very own store, Then place his name upon the door. So all could see his handmaid things, Especially, his bright-red wooden swings.
