Explore "A Good Play" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
We built a ship upon the stairs / All made of the back-bedroom chairs, / And filled it full of sofa pillows / To go a-sailing on the billows.
We took a saw and several nails, / And water in the nursery pails; / And Tom said, "Let us also take / An apple and a slice of cake; " -- / Which was enough for Tom and me / To go a-sailing on, till tea.
We sailed along for days and days, / And had the very best of plays; / But Tom fell out and hurt his knee, / So there was no one left but me.
