A Day In a Boys Life

The youngster ran happily down the old dirt road, With all his worldly possessions, three magical rocks and a lively old toad. He stopped at the old creek as was his daily routine, Looking for that evasive four leaf clover in this field so green. Well to his dismay his search was in vain, Cause thunderclouds built up and it began to rain. Hurriedly he ran to an old abandoned barn just up ahead, At one time you could tell this old barn had been red. He opened the old squeaky door and inside he did go, Inside he found discarded treasures, rusty old horseshoes were the best don’t you know? And broken old tools which he knew he could use, Too, too much for such a young boy to choose. His pockets were stuffed as he made his way back home to his house. His momma met him at the door and said in those bulging pockets son you best not have brought me a mouse. Gosh no he said as he showed off his booty, Now go wash up for supper son as she hugged her little cutie.

This is a nice poetic story. As a kid, those old barns were castles and a great place to spend a rainy day. Vince

This is too cute, my daughter put rolley polleys in the bathroom sink and bathed them, took them outside to the sidewalk, and cried when they all crawled away, saying "they left me after I was good to them"... childhood is so sweet....love your writes, Always, Christy
