Don’t peek-
When we play hide and seek.

We used to play, in the summer sun-
From the early morning, til the day was done.
.
Outside we had so much fun-
Of course, using our imagination.
.
A program or two, on TV, we’d get to see-
And, then the rest, of the time, outside we
would be.
.
Climbing trees and making mud pies-
Counting bees, and catching flies.
.
Running, til we could run no more-
Always wondering, what next, would be
in store.
.
Playing hide and seek-
With that once, in a while peek.
.
Sitting under a tree-
Talking of what we would do next,
and what we’d grow up to be.
.
We used to play, in the summer sun-
From the early morning, til the day was done.

I always tend to peek-
While I am playing hide and seek.
