My Top-Choice Toy
It’s…
a rolling boat, a racing car,
a rocket ship to reach a star,
a bakeshop selling fancy cakes,
a zoo with bears and wolves and snakes,
a castle with a moat (and fish),
a secret fort where five kids squish.
My top-choice toy, and that's a fact:
the box in which our fridge was packed.
a rolling boat, a racing car,
