Grandsons get serious when they play superheros. Grandparents are in awe of their young minds and do any and everything to encourage them.


The Day of The Heros

Little boys
with dirty feet and sweaty hair
jump in and out of Batman's boat

Hero toys
to a three and four year old pair
have better dialogue than Shakespear wrote

Power served
by Mammy on a cardboard raft
in juice that keeps Batman and Wobin alive

This observed
by Pappy who gave his watercraft
to Mac and Luke in their grandparent's gravel drive

this is so much fun! those two are full of imagination. What a pair!! People need more reminders of the good things in life and this certainly is one of them. Great writing about exceptional boys or, ahem, Heros!
