Maze
“It’s a puzzle Pa
here and here and there”
Son’s stubby finger
as indicated
Yellow balls surround
“I’m trapped in a maze”
I exclaim, confused
Start scratching my head
and turning around
“Oh Pa, I’ll show you”
Son said haltingly
Sinuous his frame
snaking and twisting
progresses the floor
“See, can touch the wall
he said, stretching arm
I have made some paths”
To amuse, I ask
“I am lost, which way?”
Wife from garden door
shouts “now play nicely”
addressing our son
“Oh Pa” gasps Toby
I’ll show you the way
hurrah, you made it”
Happy Toby danced
Said “ now find way back”
Gleefully he clapped
each successive step
