Start With Last

Start with last

Last in line

Line that’s long

Long like a ball of fun

Fun.  Your favorite game

Game of life, what you live

Live like a king

King as in ruler

Ruler is what you need to measure

Measure up, or measure a window

Window, now you look out

Out, outside is where you play

Play your favorite sport

Sports like track, where you run

Run like the wind

Wind cools you off

Off and on like a light

Lights brighten up rooms

Rooms like your bedroom and kitchen

Kitchen where you find your food

Food what you love, you love to eat

Eat something healthy

Healthy til your last day

Day, from 12 a.m. to 12 at night

Night is dark

Dark can be scary

Scary, as in monsters

Monsters can sometimes be funny

Funny enough to make you laugh

Laugh when you’re happy

Happy, and a smile

Smile and say cheese

Cheese.  Snap the picture

pictures go in frames

Framing someone can land you in jail

Jail, a dark and lonely place

Place me in Paris

Paris at the Eiffel Tower

Towers are very tall buildings

Building can be the first or last on the block

Blocks can be toys that can be build up

Up and down the mountain

Mountains are one of the earth’s tallest things

Things that start

Start with last.
