Waiting

 
Mom said it's coming. I'll watch down the street.
Don't know what it looks like, but I bet it's neat.
It must have ten wheels painted blue, green, and pink,
and be driven by clowns. At least, that's what I think.
I bet that it shines like the sun on a lake.
I've heard it brings parties with ice cream and cake.
I hope when it comes it brings children to play.
My dad said it's coming. It's coming today!
It's too much excitement. I'm getting all numb
as I watch down the street for my birthday to come.
