Quiddity ... Play

Today's word is "quiddity" ... KWID-i-tee ... the quality that makes a thing what it is; the essential nature of a thing. (Dictionary.com)

Play
Little children do amaze,
With spontaneity and joy,
Their quiddity inspiring,
Complete, authentic, not a ploy.

Faced with shining truth like this,
We realize what ageing's done,
Made us serious and sage,
But clumsy when it's time for fun.
