3 line stanza with nine count meter
A chapter in the book Spit, Gum and Shoe Laces
A Willy Durbin Saturday
by Blue-Stubby
A tasty little treat, healthy and light... enjoy
Playtime for a dirty little boy.
His tiny heart is so full of joy,
covered in mud with his Tonka toy.
There's lunch in the house ready to eat.
Pulling muddy boots off his tiny feet,
climbing up the chair to his booster seat.
Tearing the crust from around his bread.
Careful with his cup like mother said,
wearing a Kool-aid smile cherry red.
Two small hands to close the bathroom door.
He rips off his play clothes that he wore.
Standing bare foot on the cold tile floor.
Investigating scabs on his knee.
Scraped by the bark of a willow tree,
climbing away from a bumblebee.
He washes himself, trying his best.
A midday nap 'cause it's time to rest.
Falling asleep on his daddy's chest.
...Just a Willy Durbin Saturday.
His tiny heart is so full of joy,

Tearing the crust from around his bread.
Careful with his cup like mother said,
wearing a Kool-aid smile cherry red.
Two small hands to close the bathroom door.
He rips off his play clothes that he wore.
Standing bare foot on the cold tile floor.
Investigating scabs on his knee.
Scraped by the bark of a willow tree,

A midday nap 'cause it's time to rest.
Falling asleep on his daddy's chest.
...Just a Willy Durbin Saturday.
extracted from memories past, when peaceful days were expected and a small child's spirit was bathed in love, his soul was shielded from from vicious realities that waited to steal his future desires and securities.
