Original "Do you Remember?"-Jack Johnson
Do you remember when we were kids?
It was warm
When we would play
Outside for hours
You would set up chairs
And we would sell lemonade
Beneath a red, yellow, blue umbrella
Enjoying the sun
We would dart through the sprinkler
Green grass stuck to our feet
Mom wouldn’t let us in
Please dry off first
Drawing designs with the chalk
That would stain our hands
And wash away sometime soon
When soft rain fell
Stood barefoot beneath a gray, wondrous sky
Splashing gleefully together, waiting for a call
To hurry inside, you’ll get sick
And we would go
Inside our childhood home
Quite pleased
Do you remember?
Your picture makes me smile and so does your poem. It's so hard to get fresh cut grass off of wet feet ...
ReplyDeleteI love your poem! I can remember back when I was a kid, drawing with sidewalk chalk and playing outside. I like your words "drawing designs with the chalk, that would stain our hands, and wash away sometime soon."
