Read together

In the ocean blue,
There's a world to explore,
With creatures and corals
And so much more!

But before you can go,
There's a rule to obey,
You must listen well
To what adults say.

At the office, they'll offer
A trip you'll love,
But first you must finish
Your work and not shove.

An object may tempt you
To play and goof off,
But remember to stay focused
And never scoff.

So pack your bags
And set sail for the sea,
Just remember to be responsible
And the world will be your key!

Talk about it
