exploring the neighborhood

In the driveway
"Which way should we go?"
"Let's go straight"
"Okay."

We go straight from the driveway onto a circle road
Walk a little and get bored
Then we see a sign and go onto another road
My feet start to get tired
But I don't care

I could walk for hours
On this road
Walk until the sun is setting
And the animals come out to play

On vacation
In the wonderful state called Florida
Explore this neighborhood for days if I could
I'd drag you with me
And you wouldn't mind

We get called home
We get lost on the way
But then a familiar road appears
And we're back on the right track again

I want to go again tomorrow
Explore a little more
Stay out until the stars come out
And the moon shines on my face and cools my skin
And the animals come out of hiding

I want to
I would If I could
But I can't leave people to worry
As I stay out past dark

So I hurry home
And gretings are exchanged in the driveway
We're back home
After forty-five minutes of walking

I love exploring way too much

Signed,
Naps
