Nap

Such a busy day for me ---
watching squirrels
race round a tree,
waving at
the big red truck,
splashing with
my rubber duck,
prancing
wearing Daddy's hat,
dancing with
the kitty cat,
helping Auntie
stir and cook,
coloring
my bunny book,
building bridges,
roads, and farms.

Time to rest in
Mommy's arms,
take a cozy nap,
and then --- off I'll go
to play again.
