Nursery School Age Kids Used To Play

Rome wasn't built in a day Mexicans like saying "Ole!" If your horse eats nothing but hay Teach him how to order on e-Bay While terriers put sugar in their 'tay' Cigarette smokers should use an ashtray People say every dog has his day Though I was told that crime doesn't pay First April showers, then come what May In life one's gotta find his own way A voice vote's always a yea or a nay It's lonely tonight -- Won't you stay? When you're older, your hair might turn gray Every knight needs some dragons to slay If a soldier won't enter the fray Against him will a nation inveigh On her tuffet, Little Miss Muffet ate whey When a donkey's upset, it'll bray In Puerto Rico how those palm trees do sway Now the sun's out: Go catch a ray Do you remember when happy meant 'gay' And nursery school age kids used to play? From the path it's far too easy to stray ~ Life's choices please carefully weigh!

If surfer should catch some ocean spray, Even though hair has been turning gray; More mature, Know for sure; Hope to soon go to heaven to God pray.

Great rhymes and excellent closing remarks. Tough to maintain such a form for as long as you managed to do here, so job well done (or has it just begun?)
