Sun Light and Tantrums

The little boy tends to be ornery Especially when he is a giant One who hates light and planets One who grows out of control Out of sight with a love of tantrums And when he throws them look out Bad things happen around the world When he stomps Tsunamis come Earthquakes crumble mountains Finger nails break in beauty parlors A cry for mommy and a thumb goes in the mouth Heard around the world in horror The little boy grows larger by the hour Then leaves the planet as it grows tiny He must live in outer space without his toys More out of control than ever he gets mad Then scoops up the sun in his little big cup Covers it with his hand and screams ouch Tosses the sun in the nearest cosmic ocean To snuff it out and stuff and because he can And because he still hates light and planets And what they stand for Tantrums are not very nice But they are a way of life
