The Little Cast Away


Too hot too hot yells the boy then he shouts      
with four little waifs on the run he has clout 
they jerk him around 
by a swimming ground 
poor little guy soaked and wet, like a trout   

Too hot too hot he cries as he dips his head 
still as a stalk they mistake him for dead 
they yank at his shirt  
four brats and a squirt  
he stands there all wet in his soppy red Keds 

Stop it stop it he hollers then he begins to run 
with heart pumping joy he heads for the sun
its a fun loving day   
for this small cast away 
too hot too hot he shrieks but he doesn't shun.

Did I really get so much fun as a little girl? Even the uncomfortable moments as a child is a good memory when older. Lovely written.

I love the line: with heart beating joy he heads for the sun.
