Play On Words

Words are fun to play on.
Especially one's with A's,
Because you can slide right down 'em
and then land on top of j’s.

You just line them in a row
or stack them like a big skyscraper.
It’s like a word game,
only you don’t need a piece of paper!

The j's and q's and y's and g's
are fun to swing upon.
Their hooks are very comfortable
and their stems are nice and long.

You can climb t's like a fire pole.
You can do the same with i's.
The b's have built in cubby holes
and o's are the perfect size

for rolling down a grassy hill
while you're curled up in their centers.
And those who created w's
were masterful inventors,

Because w's make great seesaws;
nothing else can rock you higher.
Plus, when you turn them upside down;
You rule an “m”-pire.

Words are fun to play on;
for good times, you just can’t beat ‘em.
Plus, once you’re all grown up,
I’ve heard you even get to eat ‘em!
