It’s fun to watch children playing!
CHILDREN AT PLAY



What a fun! Watch children playing,
Absorbed in games,
Calling out names,
And parents’ nerves fraying!

Happily lost in their own world,
They laugh and cry
Without being shy.
They act like a wild herd!

Parents’ advice they always shun.
No use for it.
It’s their habit.
Watching them what a fun!
