All it took-
Was to get out that coloring book.
.
To color the moon-
To color a sand dune.
.
To color a house-
To color a mouse.
.
To color a bear-
To color a spring fair.
.
To color a sign-
To color and stay in the line.
.
To color a sky-
To color fox sly.
.
To color the whole world-
To color in many a swirl.
.
Did all this as a young one-
And as an adult, for comfort,
still getting the job done.
.
All it took-
Was to get out that coloring book.

1. At birth.
2. At adulthood.
3. When the cell phone will suffice, instead of the land line.
=====================================
No need to pay for two dial tones-
When all can be taken care of with the use of one cell phone.

As a child, I couldn’t put the book down-
Wherever I was the book would also be found.
.
To carry it til the very end-
Here and there, up and over the bend.
.
And, when I was finished the moment had to be faced-
The story was over and would have to be replaced.
.
A scenario that happened over and over again-
And, it’s funny for the same thing is going on today,
as it was way back then.
.
To outgrow that written word-
In my life, simply is not heard.
.
A new book, to find-
To simply refresh the mind.
.
As a child, I couldn’t put the book down-
Wherever I was the book could also be found.
