Pinkie Swear

T he little boy always brought his toy truck H e had many kinds of toy trucks to share E very day she would come to the park B ringing her dollies with their golden hair I n the age of pureness of five and four R easoning of nannies who watch this pair D oes not include what children talk about S o they sit and read and listen and stare A chance to catch forty and not get caught N odding and squinting and feigning the glare D ozing off longer and longer each time T wo bright young angels playing “double dare” H e with nothing on but his birthday suit E ven she with just a bow in her hair B eing “mommy and daddy” from their eyes E very secret act done with pinkie swear E ach pureness when lost can never return S uch is the way of secrets we must bear. © Aug 07 2010 For Carol's "Birds and Bees" contest
