Liar, Liar Pants On Fire

Billy was ten and building a rocket. He claimed no one his age could top it. The day came for the firing But a blunder in the wiring Made it end up in Billy’s pants pocket.

Have you ever wondered how we survived childhood--no safety caps on medicine bottles, no safety belts, no bicycle helmets? I rejoice that you survived; otherwise we wouldn't have your exquisite story poems. . . . Thanks for your comment, Lindsay
