Play.Write.Hear

Skatin' ...
On a sheet of ice
The girl she fell
And her heels clicked twice.
She crinkled her nose,
And her thoughts weren't nice.
She sat on her butt
On sheets of ice.
Frozen.In Time...

Thinkin'.
In.Rhyme.

Then from the air
The sun came shine'in
On her butt there
The girl started smilin'
As the sheet of ice...
Melted.
Her naughty thoughts pelted,
By a ray of sparkling sun.Shine.

Off came her skates
As the grass started growin'
Fresh came the wind
As the flowers started showin'
And warm was her heart
As the music started flowin'.

Hey look! A rainbow there!
Fresh air!
A stream started runnin'
And some bees came ahummin'
And Bear came strummin'...
That a Platypus was seen,
swimming... in the air.

This place is *****.
But the girl,
With the skates,
Who fell?
Decided she liked it
And decided to stay
And Play.
Write.
Hear.
