Looks like the holidays are about to get underway-
So, that means it is about time to tend to that layaway.
.
Of course, things have changed, but some remain the same-
Like back in the day, a favorite toy, a favorite game.
.
Monopoly, to know-
The one where you collect $200, after you pass go.
.
Crayons, to color, from the heart-
Only a paper needed, to get that start.
.
Play-Doh, to acrue-
To form, and then let harden as a statue.
.
The Spirograph, where the lines swirl-
To take a line, into complete whirl.
.
Lincoln Logs to build over and over
again-
A barn, a fence, a complete family cabin.
.
Many childhood books to pick over and
remember-
That would be enjoyed reading, in the
month, of December.
.
Silly Putty, to press-
With so many shapes, to address.
.
And, of course, we all know-
What we’ve done with LEGO.
.
Etch A Sketch, to design-
And, create, whatever is on the mind.
.
Hot Wheels, always had their place-
So many collected requiring a case.
.
Skates, on the sidewalk, or street-
One by one, or two to compete.
.
And, Mr. Potato Head, who is
always in re-arrange-
Wait, I’ve got one more thing to change.
.
Always wonderful, to have on hand-
Is that special board, to make one’s way
through Candyland.
.
Looks like the holidays are about to get underway-
So, that means it is about time to tend to that layaway.
