Rhyme
Moonlit Picnic Cup Jingle
Acorn path—tap, tap, see;
One empty cup waited neatly.
Austin said, “I’ll carry the tray.”
Callen said, “I’ll place the cup.”
Little bridge—one part first;
Austin held the dry tray still.
Callen placed the cup on top;
Both kept steady when it stopped.
Painted gate—what shall we choose?
Tap two hands, or rest our shoes—
Or whisper silly, “Picnic-pop!”
Then let the helper hand beat stop.
Moonlit cups in make-believe play
Tapped tiny rhythms through the day.
One part each—then see it done;
Helping joins our work as one.
