Child's Play

by Treischel

When weather warms to sunny day
Outside excursions can be planned,
To make some time for children's play
To slide, or swing, or simply stand
On playground apparatus bars
Like little monkey superstars,
Who play and build upon the sand
Imaginary roads for cars.

I'd love to watch them all day long.
Or, better yet, to even join them.
Would that? Could that really be wrong?
An irresponsible item
That casts all adult cares away,
Indulge in innocent child's play,
Pulled along by strong siren's song
To be a little child again?

Of course it wouldn't, couldn't!
