By the Front Door

We introduce new words to Henry
Every time we’re there.
He soaks up everything we say;
He’s focused and aware.

He knows the numbers of his house
And all the words as well
That describe the door and entry way – 
The mailbox, knocker, bell.

But I’d never pointed out a sight
I remedied today – 
Those two columns near the entrance – 
Column B and Column A!

Well at this rate, one thing for sure. Henry's bound to be just great, might even find a cure. Peace. :)
