(117 June 20, 2010: Go Out And Play

GO OUT AND PLAY

Go out and play before it’s time for bed,
You’ve been inside for far too long today.
Turn off the Spider Fight inside your head;
   Go out and play!

Your fingers are so quick to catch your prey,
Your thumb can spin a thousand spiders dead
In one fell swoop inside your web display,

But here on earth no foe will cringe with dread,
No Frisbee falcon fly, no squirt gun spray
Unless you capture fire-breathing Fred;
   Go out and play!
