A Key With No Lock
By Cherry Carl
Every map has a special key
So you know what is earth and what is the sea.
Oceans and rivers and lakes are blue,
But I know that and so do you!
Trees and grass are usually green,
On every map that I’ve ever seen!
Roads and freeways are easy signs . . .
They’re usually marked with big black lines.
Every map has a special key,
So, when you look, you’ll always see
Symbols and signs that help you read.
