It's such a pleasant night out,
let's go outside and sit.
We'll open up the folding chairs.
I'm glad I thought of it.
We hear a jet that's far away
but we can hear its roar.
We see some car lights and we know
the folks are home next door.
|
The crickets make their cricket sounds.
The frogs are making theirs.
The light behind me makes my shadow
sit out on the stairs.
Mom says "You're getting sleepy."
I say, "Yes, you are right."
Before we go inside, we turn
and tell the moon "Goodnight."
