The Challenge

How I had forgotten
what a roomful of little ones can do,
It’s really a little bit
like the monkey cage at the zoo.

With chittering and chattering
and all kinds of noise,
I think the loudest had to be
the little boys.

Not knowing to use
just a drop or two,
Some heaped on the
Elmer’s white glue.

With brush and paint
they showed real gusto,
They did pretty good but
we saw no Michelangelo.

We were just happy the paint
stayed mostly off them,
As I had given it a chance
from none to slim.

If challenge happens to be
your favorite word,
Then help in crafts
from K thru third.
