Analysis of Frolicking With Dick & Jane & Sally Part 3
Saturday
One Fine Day We went Out to the Farm , Out in The Country , Down the Winding Lane & Saw Grandmother & Grandfather Too. Horses were Pulling a Load of Hay & They said to us Kids would you like to Help with the Chores Today? We would make a game of Gathering the Eggs In The Chicken Coop Where They Were Laid, then working in the Garden & picking Vegetables The Rest of The Day. We Saw Rabbits Jumping Here & There, They seemed to Be Just Everywhere. Happy Days will always be down on the Farm for us to See. Out in The Barn , We Played Today, Rolling round in the Bales of Hay, & Making a Fort in Which to Play. Then We Found a Haystack in the Field & made Secret Tunnels & Tall Hills, Where Did They go ,Round & Round, Where do they Lead. Up & Down , Round & About & Back to The Farm! We Saw Ducks & Geese & Chickens too & Brown & White Cows who went MOO ~~MOO~~~Bacon & Eggs Await us today Breakfast is Good & Fills Us Right Away. Maybe we will go out to Play & Get some Sunshine Today. So a week had Flown by so Fast , & we all knew for Sure it wouldn’t Last, So we Waved Good-by & Got a Hug or Two, & Saw in the Distance Drawing Near, A Big Yellow Bus Just Appeared in View . We Were on our Way Back to School, Seeing Sites along the Way. If we Learn a Thing or Two Today, we’ll Pass it Right Along To You. Thats The Fun of Sharing Too. Having Manners is Good For You.
Dad is Late for the Office Today & Hurrying Scurrying to Our Dismay, Mother helps with his Tie, & Shoes, Gives Him a Kiss & Says.... Shoo, Shoo Shoo! Shes Packing our Lunches then Kisses us too. And Out to the Busstop We all Flew . And the Garden Gate Was Swinging Out & we all Three Filed out & Began to Shout. We Waved Dad good-by as he Drove right Past in His Bright Blue Sedan & Policeman Jim saw us off to School. He made it nice & Safe for us . That was His Rule. He looked so great in His Blue Uniform with Big Brass Buttons & a Whistle too.
