Lots of Dots

some dots are nig
some dots are small
Some dots float
some dots fall
THere are dots fot going
and dots for licking
dots for snacking
and dots for kicking
some dots are heavy
some dots are light
some dots are colorful
and some dots are bright
there are dots on shirts
dots for the sun
dots that smell sweet
and dots that are fun
there are dots on dogs
and dots in the air
there are dots on your plate
There are dots everywhere!
