Does your family keep asking, "What should we do?
We have no money to go to the zoo.
It's still kinda nice out, the sky is real blue.
Oh, mommy, oh daddy, what can we do?!?!"
You pause for a moment, and look at the door
Beyond it, it seems could be adventures galore
But do you really want everyone just running amok?
Wait, I have an idea, you're in luck!
Come up with some clues in the form of a rhyme
You might call it a scavenger hunt, some of the time
Go hide the clues in the strategic places
And watch for the wonder on their darling faces.
So you're saying, "Are you kidding? I don't have the time
To come up with clues in the form of a rhyme!"
To which I reply, "Chill out, oh my dear.
Just write simple clues, it works, too - have no fear.
When you're done with the hunt make the last clue a prize
It need not be something of extraordinary size
Just drink some hot chocolate or have a small treat
The fun is the game, it just can't be beat!
After festivities, snuggle on the couch
I doubt anyone in the ranks is a grouch
You could talk and giggle, or just hang loose,
Or read my favorite books by, you know, Dr. Seuss.
Thank you for humoring my love to rhyme
You can tell I have preschoolers, they're just sublime
Go have a fun day, this Friday my friend
My wonderful rhyme has come to an end.
Have you guys ever tried geocaching? It's fun, especially when you're already out and about.
