Come Play

Mama, come play! (or “let’s play!”)

I cannot today

I have too much laundry

I must put away

Daddy, come play!

I cannot today

I must go to work

for we have bills to pay

Sister, come play!

I cannot today

I’ve got too much homework,

Tomorrow, okay?

Brother, come play!

I cannot today

I’m biking with friends,

And you can’t come—no way!

Baby, come play!

What is that you say?

You’ll play with me all day? / You’re free now for playtime?

That’s wonderful, yay! / Then let’s start—hooray! / Finally, yay!
