Jean Conder Soule
Surprises are round
Or long and tallish,
Surprises are square
Of flat and smallish.
Surprises are wrapped
With paper and bow,
And hidden in closets
Where secrets won’t show.
Surprises are often
Good things to eat;
A get-well toy or
A birthday treat.
Surprises come
In such interesting sizes—
I LIKE
SURPRISES!
