All-Weather Friends

What do I do when it rains outside

And I can’t go out to play?

I curl up in my favorite chair

And go visiting yesterday—

Through the pages of a favorite book

Where shiny knights of old

Fought fiery dragons with scaly tails,

Who guarded treasures of gold.

Sometimes I read of a girl like me

Near home or far away,

And I’m grateful for my book friends

On a stormy or sunny day.
