Under My 8 Year Old Brothers Bed

Under my 8 year old brothers bed lies my dog chewed Barbie, no sign of her head a faded Snoopy cartoon, deflated yellow Birthday balloon and one stuffed zoo animal baboon Romote toy car from Uncle Tom Cassette of Raffi, sing-a-long songs half a fruit roll-up, and a beat up tonka truck A wooden dream catcher, made in Summer camp his moon and star shaped night lamp one lonely brown button from his Winter coat A crumpled crayon castle drawing, complete with an alligator filled moat A real rabbits foot, for luck, from Grandpa Mack half a fourth of July sparkler, old fashioned box of jacks glass jelly jars of grass, sticks, leaves, assorted bugs science fair worm farm living in moms old Garden jug Under my 8 year old brothers bed it has to be said, if you find yourself lost beneath it you are as good as dead!
