Abcedarius - A child's life

A for the apple that falls on the ground
Bouncing beside me, it makes not a sound
"Can I please eat it?" I question my Dad
Dad checks it over, and sees it's not bad.

E for the brown eggs my neighbor's hens lay
Fallen forgotten deep down in the hay
Gathered up carefully, taken inside
Heavenly taste when cracked open and fried.

I for the ivy which on our house grows
Jamming the window I wanted to close
Kitchen scissors cut close, snipping a vine
Leave this one for me, I'm glad that it's mine.

M for the muffins my mother soon bakes
Nuts and brown sugar, a great treat she makes
Over to my house my friends like to come
Party with  baking - leave nary a crumb.

Q for the quiet at end of the day
Reading a story, but yawning away
Simply can not keep my tired eyes open
Tonight, happy dreams, or so I ‘m hopin'

Under the covers I snuggle with glee
Vince, my stuffed bear, snuggles close in with me
When I'm fast asleep tucked tight in my bed.
X marks the spot where I lay down my head.

Yesterday's gone, but tomorrow draws near
Zipping closer, the sun soon will appear.
