Let’s Play Pretend

Me and my friend are at my house,

We are bored and tired and cannot go out.

My brain pops up with a brilliant idea

LET’S PLAY PRETEND!

Grab your backpack let’s go explore,

Through the jungle we push away bushes while we tumble.

LET’S PLAY PRETEND!

We drive an ice cream truck,

Children all ages screen wahoo, horray, yippee!

LET’S PLAY PRETEND!

We dive in the ocean to swim with the dolphins,

While our flippers keep on floppin’

LET’S PLAY PRETEND!

We soar in our spaceship, then land on the moon.

Oh well it is half past noon!

LET’S PLAY PRETEND!

We are at a pizzeria, flipping through the dough.

I spin the dough once, I spin it twice and oops it falls on my head!

LET’S PLAY PRETEND!

I yawned and so did my friend,

Both of us plopped on my bed.

The lights turned out, and

we fell fast asleep
