FIFTY-FIVE ACTIVITIES

Electric's out
Let's go and play
Hide and Seek
At end of day.

We'll light a candle 
So we can see
To climb the stairs.
Please, come with me.

We can hug
And we can kiss
And we can have
Our wedded bliss

We'll let the candle 
Light the way.
And then we'll love
And then we'll play,

Amongst the sheets
And bedclothes' silk
Under blankets
Under quilt

We'll find each other,
Spend the night,
Not caring if it's dark
Or light.

I'm sure there's more
That we could do,
But you have me
And I want you.

Fifty-five activities
Will help to quell the fear.
I rejoice that lights went out
That you are with me here.
