The sun was up. The day was bright!

It filled our room with yellow light.

It woke us both, so right away …

We grabbed our things, were on our way.

We drove out to the oceanside.

The sand was hot. The waves were wide.

Tall grasses swayed. The salty air

Was soft and still and everywhere.

And the waves whispered …

We found a place so great and green,

The deepest field we’d ever seen.

We gathered berries, sweet and red,

As shadows circled overhead.

And the sky sang …

We helped our parents plant some trees.

We found some mice.

We found some bees!

Then suddenly,

The rain came down.

In plips and plops

It hit the ground.

And the storm shushed …

We climbed into the sandy car

With all our treasures in a jar.

We stopped for dinner, stopped to see …

Stopped again so I could pee.

And the road rumbled …

When we got home, the sky was black.

The cat was happy we’d come back.

And though the day was done and gone,

Somehow the lights were all still on!
