Simple Toys....Part 2

If you've ever watched children 
Play with big things that you bought 
Toys hold their interest short term 
But eventually the box they sought 

It didn't have to make noise 
Have wires, lights or batteries 
In a plain old cardboard box 
Their imaginations were set free 

A driver in a race car 
Or cowboys defending a fort 
A rocket trip to the moon 
A pirate ship sailing from port 

A castle for a Princess 
Or a wonderful house for dolls 
A great place for hide and seek 
That box could be anything at all
