PLAYMATES
Reading edition
TO-DAY I met a rabbit in the path Who stopped and looked at me, While I was laughing at a frog Hop sidewise from a bee. The little rabbit's eyes laughed too. He would have like to stay; And if my clothes had been like his, He might have come to play. I wish I had a rabbit dress, A furry one, from head to toe, Then I could go away with him From streets in line, all set just so. I think my clothes are stupid things To rob me of my friends, But then, the kind of playmate clothes I want, nobody lends!
