Look See

There was a child who ran wild 
Who was born into fragments broken pieces styled
Locks without rocks book without fiction
Played cops robbers toys pulled with friction
He liked mud pies bean pies rock spot and trial sized chocolate bits with thick Caramel sooth sailing mixed
He liked climbing hills with Bill Bad cowboy and all his donkeys
Talk trash with no cash climb trees with monkeys
Play imaginary Dallas state star gazed would sunk see
Drowning toys tied with strings go home you monkey
The rock slide he rides Rushed hours to the thigh while mother called Tommy boy Back in the house as the sun went down 
His clothes were literally drowned 
Playtime debris chocolate on his knee 
Every toy imaginary could be 
Put up for another time eat carrots to tell time
Water was calling to wash off residue 
Sheets set to a dial tone that told Tommy not to move 
Deep sleep it would be end travels do sing 
But covers pulled back and sang Tommy to sleep
