A Good Play

 A Good Play by Robert Louis Stevenson, as dramatized by Mikko and Tyler...


We built a ship upon the stairs
All made of the back-bedroom chairs,

And filled it full of soft pillows
To go a-sailing on the billows.

We took a saw and several nails,
And water in the nursery pails;

And Tom said, "Let us also take
An apple and a slice of cake;"

Which was enough for Tom and me
To go a-sailing on, 'til tea.

We sailed along for days and days,
And had the very best of plays;

But Tom fell out and hurt his knee,

So there was no one left but me.
