Vast Huge World

Young boy, fritter not your days inside
For, myriad outdoor splendors wait,
A vast, huge world you’ve left untried,
Now go!  Discover flowers ornate,

For, myriad outdoor splendors wait
Where glowing screens won’t mystify.
Now, go discover flowers ornate,
Find flora and fauna to satisfy

Where glowing screens won’t mystify.
Dare climb a tree, have both your eyes
Find flora and fauna to satisfy
And marvel at earth, its scope and size;

Dare climb a tree, have both your eyes
Venture, at last, into countryside
And marvel at earth, its scope and size;
Unplug those games, cast phone aside,

Venture at last into countryside,
A vast, huge world you’ve left untried.
Unplug those games, cast phone aside:
Young boy, fritter not your days inside!
