In the Playground 

​

Shine! Shine! Shine! 

go the streaks of beaming sunlight

Shout! Shout! Shout!

go the children on the swings

Mine! Mine! Mine!

as we have a tug-of-war fight

Out! Out! Out! 

to the joy that summer brings

 

Dash! Dash! Dash! 

as we frolic with the football

Crouch! Crouch! Crouch!

as we play at hide-and-seek

Crash! Crash! Crash! 

goes the stomping of the footfall

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

someone slipped and hurt their cheek

 

Sing! Sing! Sing!

as we holler and we yell now

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

at the wasp we can’t abide

Ding! Ding! Ding!

that's the ringing of the bell now

Boo Hoo Hoo!

and it’s time to go inside.​​
