Go Outside

You can say it with a weary tone
or tell them on the telephone;
It can be an exhortation
or the fruit of inspiration --
Go outside!
You'd be punished in the winter
and the weather always hinders
at the most convenient times,
but when the sun still shines,
Go outside!
With computers and constraints
plus those couch potato plaints
make it easy to just sit,
but you simply must not quit --
Go outside!
They'll thank you later (or never)
and you have to know that ever,
there's a reason to obey
and get in the yard to play:
Go outside!
