I have so many things to do, 
I don't know when I shall be through: 
Today I had to watch the rain, 
Come sliding down the window pane. 
And I was humming all the time, 
Around my head, a kind of rhyme; 
And blowing softly on the glass 
To see the dimness come and pass. 
I made a picture, with my breath 
Rubbed out to show the underneath 
I built a city on the floor, 
And then I went and was a War
And I escaped from square to square 
That's greenest on the carpet there, 
Until at last I came to Us: 
But it was very dangerous, 
Because if I had stepped outside, 
I made believe I should have died! 
And now I have the boat to mend, 
And all our supper to pretend. 
I am so busy ev 'ry day, 
I haven't any time to play.
