There is a thing I did today, I did it all day long, I did the thing with friends I did this thing alone But then I sat and wondered “Where has it gone?” I asked my mom, I asked my dad, I even asked the dog! I looked to up, I asked my friend, And there it was, I’d found it! The search was fun but now its done Where’d it go, I’d lost it! I did my work in sudden gloom Just pure agitation! I couldn't catch it, or contain it It made me so upset! But then my brother came to see me And all the gloom was gone He asked for me to help him, With a project that he had And as I helped him all that day It dawned inside my head It’s not what you do, it’s who you're with, That makes it all the fun Where I looked, I found it there Fun is all around! Around inside, and under the sky, Even in my neighborhood! We went to town in search of a store To buy all the products I adore But while I was there I saw something new! I had to try it or I’d be blue! And now I have it in my hand, Ready to experience it with a friend, Way more fun it is with you Then all alone until the end Stuck at home I lay in bed, Thinking of the world The thoughts were sad and full of doom But then I remembered, there was that thing I did today That thing that made me smile And with this thought, I lay in bed My eyelids slowly closing.

The search for fun
Sitting in my house, Stuck inside, can't play outside Trapped by a virus But in the midst, I see Mom And remember why were fine

I the pen chucked in a can Lay here in anguish the best I can Usually kept by a business man I ran dry of ink when snapped in the hand
