Playing House

poem

Who remembers playing house?

This was and is a game that teaches many skills;

believe it or not.

P is for pretend parents-

L is for learning to be caring-

A is for allowing ideas to flow-

Y is for young being old-

I is for intuition gained-

N is for nurture or nature-

G is for growing up-

H is for helping to learn how-

O is for occupation, maybe-

U is understanding-

S is for safety-

E is for entertainment in a way.

Playing house is the way we all learned to become

caring adults who listen patiently to all maybe.
