Sun

New day gets up.
It wears gray sky.
Where is the Sun?
It's basking its feet
down in Belize,
Argentina, or Mexico.
Children write him a letter:
Dear Sun, come soon,
it's cold and wintry here.
I am busy here now.
Enjoy your snow,
build snowmen,
sled and ski.
I'll send you
a box of oranges
via UPS
on my way
to the beach.
