I want to think,

But can’t find the words to say,

Should I show them how I play,

Or will I be left at home for another day,

It’s the middle of may,

I don’t like to play with clay,

Nor do I like to lay,

What a beautiful day,

I have nothing to say,

And have no games to play,

Sometimes I play with clay,

In the middle of may,

While in the grass I lay,

Waiting for the next day,

So I don’t play with clay,

So in the grass is where I lay,

No longer the middle of may,

But now I have friends to play,

I have a thought.
