The Simple Things

What they like are simple things –
The driveway pebbles tossed
Or climbing rocks and jumping down
Or playground bridges crossed.

A supermarket outing
To select their favorite snacks
And markers, paints and paper
When it’s time to just relax.

A sticker book or mazes
Or a pad with dot to dots,
Some curly pasta or french fries
To dip in ketchup – lots!

A salamander spotting
And a hopping frog as well
Make a satisfying weekend,
Least as far as I can tell.

Leave the fancy and expensive
To the ones who must proceed
With indulgent complications
That they do not really need.
