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
