Play time is over.

I don't know which is sweeter

The tea we sip from these plastic cups

Or the gentle breeze that kisses our cheeks

The sun shines down on our rendezvous

You, me, and our collection of dolls

Their painted faces ever-smiling

We pretend we're all grown up

Our backyard becomes a palace

We are royalty

These are not toy cups and saucers

They are the finest china

And as we daintily sip our drinks, we giggle like children

Breaking the spell of make believe

Inside we go

Leaving our guests alone at the table

Unable to move without the aide of our imagination

Their cups are empty

Our yard is just a yard

We are children

Play time is over
