They Are the Kindergarteners

They are jazzy and jiggly
They dance when they hop
They giggle and twirl
They are the kindergarteners

The rest of us get out of their way
Smiling as we remember the days
Before we were socialized
And made to walk in an unbouncy line

And without a little taming, they are the future savages as well...

I prefer savages to Stepford Wives.

So true. What a shame that we lose their exuberance along the way to adulthood.

Ah, yes. He and I had such a fantastic trip. He wants to go up to Maine, so maybe next fall we can do that. I keep telling him all that is worth going for are the lobsters.
