they are such fun

they streaked past us so fast
I was not sure who was in the lead
that's my granddaughter and her puppy
explained my neighbor, Mrs. Sneed.

They never stopped running
throughout the house, even on the couch.
The little girl fell off a couple of times
But she was tough, we never heard an ouch

they sure are having fun, I said, not sure what else to say
They are so much fun, Mrs. Sneed replied. But I am glad it’s only but one day.
For when they go home, I am exhausted and have to rest two hours.
They ran past us several more times, wet now, due to lovely April showers.
