jar of sun

jill liked the sunshine very much
she put some in a jar
she took it on her trip to school
which wasn't very far

she showed the jar to her classmates
it wasn't such a hit
because the sun was slightly hot
she used an oven mitt

her schoolteacher was unimpressed
he thought it wasn't swell
so jill's jar was disqualified
from that day's show and tell

that afternoon, the sun and rain
threatened recess play
jill opened up her jar of sun
and dried the rainy day
