Everyone Except the Men

Everyone is in a razzily dazzily jazzily mood Okay maybe not everyone But most of us Except for the men They have forgotten Left their little boys in dark houses years ago Left their toys under porches where rats and mice play I could feel sorry for them But they would be irritated For they are the men Too tough to care about their inner children I feel sorry for their inner children too Sometimes wondering if they are under the porches playing with their old toys completely detached from their men

A very interesting picture, Caren. I have often wondered, too, what happens to the little boy if he is left behind somewhere along the way. Same goes, too, for the little girls. Obviously, you kept yours with you!
