Color Him Father

[SteveMR200]

When I bring you colored toys, my child, I understand
why there is such a play of colors on clouds, on water,
and why flowers are painted in tints.
--Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)
_The Crescent Moon, When and Why_

Do they sell those boats, for kids to play with?
Do they also sell slingshots, to sink them with, or do they just have
pinholes in the bottom, so they can sell another one after several hours?

They rent them out.. and as for the *kids to play with* - have you ever
watched a grown man setting up his kid's train set.....?

Our minds need relaxation, and give way
Unless we mix with work a little play.
