Playtime
June 3, 2013
Little girls grow up to be ladies;
Little boys grow up to be gentlemen.
Manners are taught;
Toys are bought.
Dolls are cared for and reared,
While Legos build tomorrow's engineers.
Drums instill a future beat,
While dancing shapes the path of feet.
Plastic stethoscopes save lives;
Hours in the car teach kids to drive.
So why to children play with guns?
