The poetry of children's on my brain
Something sophisticated and yet calm
A place to take the kids and to explain
Why sometimes things conspire to do us harm.
Some simple words just laid out in a line
A chance to leave the reader with a smile
And when they're feeling bad to make them shine
And feel the warmth inside the world a while.
So let me write some words to fill a gap
And make some children laugh a bit and then
Let's each recite a verse and start to clap
And wonder at the way words work a pen.
So let imaginations tumble down,
And silly words pull laughter from each frown.
