Peekskill

Peek into the Hudson River and see cool stuff.

Eeek! the water is freezing!

Eeek! Watch where you are splashing!

Kenetic children playing in the flowing waves.

Slick move my friend, you fell on the slippery rocks.

"Kids, kids, settle down," says the teacher.

It – meaning the Hudson River – is deep and cold.

Lingering by the river could be fun, and we will be sad when we leave.

Longing for the river, when we’ve gone home.
