Garrison Can Wait

I will build my own garrison
With gargoyles a plenty
My troops led by Harrison
Who has the confidence of many

You cannot stop me, Mom.
I am on a mission from God.
Ice cream? It’s the bomb.
Garrison can wait he says with a nod.

After the sweet treat
He climbs up in his bed
To dream of his own army
He is three, our young Ted.

He sure does; lots of kids now talk about armies though and want to be soldiers - curiously enough.
