Leap Day!

Hooray! It is a leap year - we've got an extra day,
Lots of things to see and do, let's go out and play.
What are all the things you can do with 24 more hours?
Ramble in the countryside and appreciate the flowers,
Go into a darkened room and watch lots and lots of telly,
Throw a kiddies party with ice cream and with jelly,
Hook up to the internet to fight with goblins and with trolls,
Be creative in the kitchen making cakes and sausage rolls,
Sashay around the office singing Broadway tunes,
Accompanied by colleagues playing on the spoons,
Going down on one knee proposing to your fella,
Try reading people's minds just like Uri Gellar,
Go and paint the town red with a gang of friends,
Maybe watch "The Mousetrap" - don't tell me how it ends,
Putting on the wireless tuned in to Radio 4,
Have a nice long sleep, to prove that you don't snore,
Listen to your favourite band (tho' the newer stuff's not as good),
Take up playing Pooh Sticks in Hundred Acre Wood,
Get your pilot's license and learn to fly a blimp,
Pop into your local zoo for a conversation with chimp,
Pretend that you're a cowboy by riding on a horse,
Re-arrange your sandpaper into fine, medium and coarse,
You could run a marathon for fitness and for fun,
Even write a silly poem, not unlike this one,
Grab a leotard and tutu and do a jeté in the ballet,
Millions of things to do this extra February day,
Of course there is just one thing if you want to go berserk,
You could always spend the day doing lots and lots of work.
