The toys are upset
and they're muttering a lot,
summer is here
and it's really quite hot.
Everyone else has
a lot of time off,
but when they want a break
these children just scoff.
They do work hard
and they do work cheap,
they mind the children
so the grown-ups can sleep.
But if they don't get a vacation
whatever the cost,
they're off on a strike
and the kids can get lost.

I'm taking a summer break.
I'll see you all soon!

ReplyDeleteI'm a little late to this post, but what a fun post. I hope everyone feels happier now that they've had a summer break. xox
ReplyDeleteYour disgruntled toys look like they're in pretty good condition. My grandbaby would love to play with them. She's really into dolls and stuffed animals and even books now. It was so good to see you stop by, Amalia. Yes, the break was much needed, but it's good to be back among sweet friends, like you. : )
