    Play! by Lill Pluta

    I jump. I shake.

    I dance. I hop.

    I like to move.

    I cannot stop.

    I scoot and roll

    across the floor.

    I spin in circles

    out the door.

    I run outside.

    I leap. I skip.

    I bounce. I slide.

    I swing. I flip.

    But Im still careful!

    I dont trip!
