A Young Adventurer

I am told, 
that when I was not very old,
in diapers, as a matter of fact.

I was bold,
definitely too young to scold,
to young to know how to act.

I was alone
at the start and in my zone, 
while mom had a chore to do.

I got prone,
up on the mantle, diaper blown.
From the floor to there, was poo.
         ------------------------
From the chair arm to the chair back,
to the book case, to the mantle.  Needless
to say I don’t own up to any memory of this.

After reading your poem I'm not to sure you haven't been on 25 yourself. Ha Ha. There are a lot of those happenings we don't want to own up to. But there are always kids and grandkids who might follow in our foot steps. God Bless Charles and thanks for the nice words on my poem, Cile (sounds like Seal)
