Ricky's Crib
Ricky really wants to be a rich kid
He’ll live in a castle, big and purple
The giant swimming pool filled with rubber ducks
There will be a secret underground room
It will be filled with endless really cool toys
Ricky’s gonna soak in a big hot tub
The castle will be called his special crib
There will be free concerts by Rap artist
There’ll be birthday parties that never end
He will drive fast cars on his private track

Author’s Note: This was a conversation I recorded from speaking with one of my
sixteen year old autistic high school students I work with. I created a poem from
his words and presented it to him. He said, nobody had ever written anything for
him before. It hangs now on the wall in our special school room. He and I are
very proud.
