When

Purple

Remember when it was just Purple

I classified many of my classmates' clothing as Purple

My room and birthday parties were plastered with Purple

Counting Fingers

Remember when it was only Counting Fingers

I numbered paths with Dora on my Counting Fingers

Addition was learned by Counting Fingers

Outside

Remember when there was joy from Outside

My feet were black with dirt from summers Outside

Friends from all around would gather Outside

Purple Counting Fingers Outside
