Puddles




I love to jump in puddles-
big splashes flying ‘round
as raindrops falling from the sky
are dancing on the ground.

I love to jump in puddles
in gumboots shiny new-
splats and splotches leaping up
to decorate my shoes.

I love to jump in puddles-
running with a leap!
And landing “splosh!”with two feet flat
in the messy, mucky deep.

I love to jump in puddles-
it always makes me laugh!
We slip and slide on wet slick paths
‘til we fall upon the grass.

I love to jump in puddles-
squeals dancing in the air;
wind whipping past as currents move
and tango with my hair.

I love to jump in puddles-
You know why this is true?
‘cos when it rains, I catch your hand
and you come jumping too!
