Put your earphones in and
Swing as high as you can.
Feet: one, and then the other
On the pavement edge.
Buy that sticky sweet treat.
Buy them all.
Hula-hoop it out
In the most public place.
Make yourself the best
Finger food. Mini-food.
Ride your bike. As fast as
You can. Downhill.
Sing aloud in the street.
Smile. Everyone can hear you.
