pink yoga mats on green St. Augustine grass,
pony tails and cute little cartwheels,
the children get distracted by a mockingbird,
but the instructor has cookies for them at the end.
it's humid, but the little ones don't seem to mind,
as they scream in excitement at the boys
who squirt them with water guns after school
running around in ignorant happiness.
oh, to be a kid having fun doing flips
over parallel bars in the backyard,
and chasing butterflies has got to be pretty great,
laughing in somersaults with pals.
