DMC: "Hide and Seek" by Janie Lazo
HIDE AND SEEK
Let’s play a game of hide and seek
My best friend said to me
Then off she ran as there I sat
Leaned up against a tree
I counted up to ten and yelled
Get ready here I come
But then I went inside the house–
This game seemed quite ho hum
I watched some TV, ate a snack
And read my favorite book
When I got bored I went outside
Perhaps I’ll take a look
As I went out her mom pulled up–
C’mon it’s time to go
Our game was done– our friendship too
I guess I was too slow

A tough way to learn a lesson (and lose a friend), but makes for a great little ditty, Janie!
ReplyDeleteOh, no, wrong choice. You've told it well, Janie.
ReplyDeleteAlways a risk with that game...
ReplyDeleteThis is how it always went with my sisters. Ha! Great job.
ReplyDeleteA completely fresh take! Well done, Janie.
