who put bricks on a sink in a stack

squinting against the noon brightness.

wiping the salty drops away.

of glittering, gold-filled escapades 
and of sparkling star-dust dreams.
Dreams of gallant adventure and peril,
with a Don Quixote way of tilting windmills....

Who built a new house on a plain,
But his wife took fright
On their wedding night:
He’d forgotten the roof again.

Every woman with a garden

seeking approval
wanting nothing more
than a glance a smile
a sign of affection

to get them started
on the ladder
to their future

Merry blue dressed Bob, the builder,
Please return my reddish toy rooster,
I’ll give you my toy elephant,
A bubbly grey buoyant infant,
He is a long nosy mister.

When looking at a new fence,
What the intent was.
Did the builder want to keep something in
Or perhaps keep something out..

The challenge…

Ten rounds
With a 2 year old

Speed vs stealth
Experience vs enthusiasm
Age vs agility

Castle builder vs the siege
Best two out of three cookies
Co-Co melon is not a fruit

C’mon Papa
Let’s go OUTSIDE…..
