Trapped in the Pen

My day started good, then it happened, I just couldn't stay away from the fireplace! It's just way too interesting over there and feeling the brick hearth under my feet...there's nothing better. But mom wouldn't let it last. My third time sneaking over there to enjoy myself and I was caught and sentenced to my playpen! I have toys to entertain me in there, but where's the freedom to roam? It's gone! I can't handle it. I roll my tongue in desperation so someone could feel sorry for me and let me loose once again! I scream out 'I won't go by the fireplace again! I promise!' But no one understands my pain. Maybe if I start enjoying myself a little bit in here mom will let me out once again. I just hope I don't get forgotten in here!
