TALL SHIP

I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.

--John Masefield

I'm not entirely sure why this poem (fragment) came to mind. I spent the weekend talking about ships with the four-year-old... but it was mostly about space ships... not sea ships. But this photo of mine works well enough.

FULL

Full? I do not think that four letter word means what you think it means.

BOND BEAT

Bond and Beat are both British four letter words.

SHUT DOWN

A shut down can be an unexpected four letter word.

GAME

A game can be a playful four letter word.

Which four letter word do you like more?

DON'T PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD

"Don't play with your food" are the four letter words I dread saying to my four year old.
