Child Insistence

Toy in the shape,
of a figurine,

Boy saw it,
and began to whine,

he had seen possibilities,
of frolic and fun,

he began insistence,
full throttle and gun,

he had an agenda,
different from parents,

knowing that,
he deepened his laments,

scared now for sure,
both became full aware,

that they had to quieten the guy,
so they simply bought the toy ware.
