What I Do on Bad Days

- I'm
having a bad day.
- I'm
definitely not okay.
- I
broke my toy;
- I
don't enjoy
- Being
yelled at
- Just
because I can't bat.
-
-
- So
here's what I do
- You
can do it, too.
- I
make a tent --
- It
doesn't cost a cent.
- I
make a "Keep Out!" sign,
- And
things turn out just fine.
-
-
- Inside
my tent, all nice and snug,
- I
put some books and a rug.
- I
read awhile and talk out loud
- And
make a speech to a pretend crowd.
- I
take some favorite "friends" in there
- And
we all comb our hair.
-
-
- We
talk about our troubles
- And
maybe blow some bubbles.
- We
might remember a very sad time
- And
we cry or make up a rhyme.
- Whatever
we do is up to us,
- We
can even pretend we're on a bus.
-
-
- We
can travel to lands across the sea,
- And
be whatever we want to be.
- We
might be dragons, or kings or chefs.
- We
might write music with treble clefs.
- We
like it alone, but it's always grand
- When
at last we come out to look over the land.
