Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 640 (Youth No Longer)

She woke up one day and she was old-

She didn’t how the years had gone by,

how they came to unfold.

.

When she was young time went slow,

But, the older she got, the faster it did go.

.

And, then all of a sudden the wrinkes came-

Her life never again was the same.

.

Sure she could smooth them out with the

latest stuff-

But, to truly acknowledge her age was

beginning to get rough.

.

To cover up the ordeal was plain deceit-

For to change her real age, would be

more of a feat.

.

She just had to settle in and realize that

her days of youth were gone-

But, she could still enjoy each day,

beginning at the break of dawn.

.

She woke up one day and she was old-

She didn’t know how the years had gone by,

how they came to unfold.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose (Park Day)

The whole day was spent-

Off to the playground we went.

.

First we took a ride-

After climbing up the steps, we rode down the slide.

.

And then of course, we were found-

Getting dizzy, finally, on that merry-go-round.

.

The see saw takes two of us not just by chance-

But unless you have a pair, there is no balance.

.

Our favorite, favorite, favorite thing-

Is seeing how high we can travel on the swing.

.

Our arms and our legs work very hard-

To almost touch the sky is our reward.

.

A little break is what we then deserve-

A cup of water and a sandwich made with preserves.

.

A day at the park is always so much fun-

Being a bit sad when it is all over and done.

.

Both Mommy and Daddy always show much concern-

As they promise that one day soon, we will return.

.

The whole day was spent-

Off to the playground we went.
