Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Your Grown-Up Mood

The sky's slate gray
   It's rained all day
Though children can't go out
   They don't sit around and pout

Kids paint, they draw
   They learn to cook
Curl up with their favorite book

So, if ever rain dampens your grown-up mood
   Activate the child in you ~ Don't sit and brood

Caren Krutsinger September 28, 2019 at 3:19 AM I am with M.L. on this one. Just add "ditto" to her comment. Gershon Wolf September 28, 2019 at 9:54 PM You have created the 'ditto machine' comment, Caren. LOL. Thank you so much. Cheers, Gershon

M. L. Kiser September 27, 2019 at 8:11 PM True, true, true; we need to "activate the child", within us every day. Great advice and a Fav.

Heidi Sands September 27, 2019 at 2:47 PM This is excellent advice. Well done Gershon. This sounds nice right about now :) Gershon Wolf September 27, 2019 at 3:07 PM Time to let it go and just play! Happy Friday, Heidi. Cheers, Gerhon

Carolyn Devonshire September 27, 2019 at 2:13 PM GREAT advice, Gerhson! We always did find things to do on rainy days. Funny how children today complain they are bored. It wasn't always that way. Enjoyed your poem, especially to poignant message. Hugs, Carolyn Gershon Wolf September 27, 2019 at 3:07 PM You're so right. I don't remember ever being bored until I was about 16. Thanks for the insight, Carolyn. Best wishes, Gershon

Chris Green September 27, 2019 at 2:00 PM Good advice, now if we could only get some rain down here I would try that. : ) Gershon Wolf September 27, 2019 at 3:05 PM Wish I could send of some Chicago's rain your way. We've already got some flooded streets today. :)
