Dancing in Sunlight

LIVING IN TREES How nice to have a home in trees, And to confer with honeybees, Who also make their homes so high, And have a window to the sky. To huddle under leaves in rain, Then watch the sun come out again. To hear the winds come whistling by And watch a rainbow fill the sky. To be a giant looking down, and feel leaves flutter all around, To be the one to greet and sing hello to robins in the spring. THE MOUSE IN SCHOOL Johnny brought a mouse to school, Although it was against the rules. He said for “share time” we could see This mouse could dance and even read. We sat around his box entranced –– He did not read. He didn’t dance. But best was when the mouse got out And chased the screaming girls about.
