Miro seems to have a beautiful day today,
Dreamily munching carrots in the shade of our Kauai picnic,
And after a long walk up the mountain, squealing with joy
In unison with Tai as they throw volcanic mud at each other and
Dance with the lagoon waves.
But before bed, Daddy asks him if he had a nice day,
And Miro says sadly, "No".
"Why?" says Daddy.
"Because we did a long walk up the mountain. It wasn't a short walk, it was a long walk."
"But you went to the beach afterwards. Wasn't that nice?"
"No," says Miro despondently.
"Why no?"
"Because I burnt my feet on the sand," says Miro.
"But you went swimming afterwards. You loved that, didn't you?"
"No," Miro says again. "Because in the water, sometimes it goes high, and then you can't breathe."
Woe is us !
In Miro's opinion, he didn't have a nice day at all.
