My Shoes

I come inside and off they go

My shoes are muddy on the toe

Cause on adventures they go with me

For just today we climbed a tree

We swung on branches and jumped straight down

I did not see the mud on the ground

It got all over my shoes you see

And that is why they can’t come inside with me

In the summer I wear flipity flops

Cause it is just simply to hot for socks

In the spring I wear my running shoes

Cause running is what I love to do

And in the fall I prefer my loafers

It’s far more sophisticated for jokers

In winter time it’s boots you see

That I want tromping snow with me

My Shoes do like to get out and play

And they get sad when it’s a rainy day

Cause when it rains I stay inside

And in the closet they must hide

But when the sun comes out again

We run outside, Me and my friends.

My Summertime

Warm and sweet and smells of fresh cut grass

Crisp mornings perfect for a walk

Water sparkles in the sunlight

Bees buzz around flowers still blooming

Spring takes a bow and allows summer to have a dance

Sprinklers are a child’s favorite toy

Bathing suites are worn the most

Plastic pools are also nice

Vacations are planned…even to the local pool

Summer is in full swing

Baseball and hot dogs and Soda Pop

Early mornings and glorious sunsets

Birds sing as the early morning dew is formed

Kids Run and Play, making up new games

Riding scooters until the sunsets

The earth will cool

Readying itself for a new day

Snow Day!

A Snow day is the best day according to my girl

Cause when you wake to only snow it makes you want to twirl

To get out of your jammies and dress extremely warm

Then put on both your snow boots and get in your best form

When all you see is white your heart will fill with glee

Don’t eat yellow snow because that means it’s…well just don’t eat it.

But we can build a snow man and make him big and tall

And when the snow begins to melt he may trip and fall

But by that time we’ll be inside warming by the fire

With hot coco in our mugs and cookies we desire

She likes Chocolate chip and I like Chocolate mint

We all agree that a snow day is the best time ever spent

When the evening rolls around we might get kinda sad

But someday we’ll have another Snow day, so it’s really not that bad.
