Not Just a Sand Box

In my backyard is my children's sand box With a lid to keep out contamination. In it is the finest sand. This is where my children use their imagination To build make believe accommodations They use a toy dump truck, grader, wheel loader, Excavator, bull dozer and the bridges they Built with their own hands. In my backyard is my children's sand box With a lid to keep out contamination. My children are learning a vocation To make a livelyhood on the mainland. This is where my children use their imagination Using a small shovel, sifter, measuring cups, A couple of pails, bowls, pots and pans Confectionaries such as mud pies, muffins, Cakes, and cookies of all kinds gives a Tantalization Of what kind of sweet they can sell on a stand With out a name brand. In my backyard is my children's sand box With a lid to keep out contamination Which could be a complication If not taken care of first hand. This is where my children use their imagination So when their grown they'll get to add their Own diversification To crops, or business products for an operation Where they could be the boss instead of the Hired hand. In my backyard is my children's sand box With a lid to keep out contamination. This is where my children use their imagination.

Yes. It was fun when we did the garden. We got to show our children where food comes from. The problem came not from the children it was the rabbits and the other small animals. Lol.
