Need to Play

Looking for something to brighten my day
Want to run off and play
Preferably free but willing to pay
Something to take me away

Want to feel happy and gay
Maybe have some tea at the local café
Attend an event that is underway
Some candy and a flower bouquet

Eat my full at a delicious buffet
Somewhere quiet I can lay
Go for a ride on a sleigh
Dance with the cabaret

Maybe enjoy a souffle
With a juicy filet
Play some croquet
Shout out hooray

Laugh like a clown
Enjoy every sound
Joy to be found
Playing in the crowd

Shouting out loud
Happy and proud
Standing my ground
Doing things unallowed

Back to work I will go
My day moving slow
Feeling a need to grow
Thinking of good times from long ago
