Pull out the latch keys kids;
Flashlight tag and blanket forts;
You already know,
safety scissors don’t really cut;
Time to break out dodgeballs!
Let’s rock those slick shoes,
invent things like Data did;
I can still see sidewalk chalk,
images drawn with innocent eyes;
There are still so many ideas
waiting to be finessed;
Get through that channel 3 static
let’s paint on a new canvas;
Pull out the latch keys kids,
Break out that etch a sketch
it’s time to admit we are stumbling;
Possibilities are endless,
Optimism and hope spiraling ?
Simon says use your imagination;
I can still see sidewalk chalk,
images drawn with innocent eyes;
Call hope over, red red rover;
There are still so many ideas;
Think back to bedtime stories,
there’s magic in those rhymes;
The answer is still the future.
