number PAD 10-1

 That Little Boy

 

That little boy who used to run

Through the house

Like a human tornado

Removing couch cushions,

Pitching glasses off the table

And scattering his toys hither to yon

 

That little boy that knew his letters

And numbers before he was two.

Could read in kindergarten

Wore a patchwork cloth like Superman’s cape

Imagined all kinds of stories

And could make us all laugh.

 

That little boy turned forty today.
