A Fun Day the TOPS Way (Without a "Cat in the Hat")

The sun did not shine.

It was too cold to play.

So we sat in the house

all that cold, cold, snowy day.

I sat there with Lucas.

We sat there, we two.

And I said, 'how I wish we had something to do!'

Too snowy to go out

and too cold to play ball.

So we sat in the house.

We did nothing at all.

So all we could do was to

Sit!

Sit!

Sit!

Sit!

And we did not like it.

Not one little bit.

And then we saw something through the window fog.

Why, it was Therapy OPS’ awesome blog!
