A simple new day, forty years ago,
reddish hair and chubby cheeks little boy,
full of mischief, spunk, always on the go,
playing innocent pranks, he was pure joy.

 

He Left Us Stuck OutSide He Knows No Fear
A simple new day, forty years ago, reddish hair and chubby cheeks little boy, full of mischief, *****, always on the go, playing innocent pranks, he was pure joy. I had not seen it coming from a six- year-old-boy. He flashed a perfect white smile; something told me he was up to his tricks, with that giggle I knew within a while. He stepped out, locking the door behind him, with no way of getting back in the house. He grinned, in spite of the flashes of grim on my face; we sat waiting for my spouse. The spirit's lead without any glances, he flies knowing no fear taking chances. 8/16/2017 True story, he always has had a way to always make me smile. Never was able to punish him for his pranks.. As old as he is, his poor wife and kids now suffer. Contest Name: ' STUCK ' Sponsored by: Sara Kendrick

hahaha. His wife and kids now suffer.That was funny, eve. My son was worse than yours I believe. You would have to have been there to know what i am saying. i always wondered if Karma would bite him in the butt, and she did. His own little boy is double the trouble!

This is a funny story my friend! It seems that all children have it in them to do ornery things at times, my daughter did some as well when she was growing up! What a beautiful poem you have written, I loved it this fine morning! Great Work!!
