Walter

This is the first in a series that I wrote for my son a few years back. I wrote the first and he asked for more so the others follow here as well. The first of the series is just a quick intro. The more I wrote of the Walter poems the better they got I think. There are five(5) poems in total, the last of which titled "A Fathers Pride".... Hope you enjoy..... Walter Tucked beneath mulch and shredded bark Awaiting the voyage that he’ll embark To the cold wet hand of runny nosed boy Who farts and burps and thinks him a toy To feast on worms and grubs and slimy things And other bugs that the little boy brings And then to be cuddled or taken for rides In any toy transport that Joey decides All this before being placed gently at home In the safety of glass where he started from You see this is the life of Walter the Frog An African Bull who’s loved more than a dog Penned - March 2008 BUNNY JUMP Caren Krutsinger
