There once was a group of young friends,
Whose energy never seemed to end.
But sometimes they would get discouraged,
When they compared themselves to others.

They thought their toys were defective,
And wished they had a better selection.
But with an array of games to play,
They soon forgot their hesitation.

They'd get impatient waiting their turn,
And sometimes tried to use a trick to learn.
But they knew it was important to wait,
And take turns without creating a debate.

Sometimes they'd need to separate,
And take a break to rejuvenate.
But then they'd come back full of pep,
Ready to continue their lively step.

So kids, don't worry if you feel down,
There's always a way to turn things around.
Stay energetic and keep up the fun,
And know that you are second to none!
