Around the Block

“Let’s take a walk around the block. What will we see?” “Let’s get a pack for a quick snack,” said Grandpa. “What do we see?” “I see birds in a flock sitting on a dock.” said Grandpa. Tad said, “I see a fish that is quick.” “I see ducks quack and a cat lick his back,” said Grandpa. “I see a boy on a rock and a pup rips a sock.” “I see a bird peck the deck!” said Tad. “I see Jack put his bike in a rack,” said Grandpa. “I see a flower to pick and a sucker to lick,” said Tad. “I see a train on a track and hear it go click, clack,” said Tad. “Let’s stop for a snack and look in our pack,” said grandpa. “We have Ham!” Smack, smack!” said Tad. “Let’s go back to our walk. What else will we see?” said Grandpa. “I see Sam with a stick and a can he can kick,” said Tad. “I see Max and his truck. It is stuck in the muck.” said Grandpa. “Oh, yuck!” they cried. “I see boys playing jacks and a dog rolling on his back,” said Tad. Grandpa said, “I see a bell with a crack and blocks in a stack.” “I see a big clock,” said Grandpa. “I hear the clock go tick tock, tick tock,” said Tad. “It’s time to quit,” said Grandpa. “Let’s go home and hit the sack.” Tad said, “We had a great walk around the block.”
