I didn't count but enjoyed reading this very much. It was drawn in pictures clear to see. Innocense in a different world. Blessings. L&P2u

This was delightful. It is a reminder of a childhood many of us had. And unfortunatley the authors notes are so true. We were shielded and only new play time nap time and dinner time. We didn't know about locked doors and war. We knew about famine because we were reminded to clean our plates because there were children starving that would love to have whatever we didn't like. I always thought that those poor kids, all they ate were peas and yukky stuff.
Anyways, it's always nice to take a trip down memory lane and your poem was the bus ride there. mstad55

I love the rhyme scheme in this delightful, lighthearted portrait of a very small child in that time of life when all is innocence - playing in the mud, getting scabs, picking crust off bread, sleeping on Daddy's lap - lovely

What a nice poem, it made me laugh. I was able to visualize the little boy very well with your words. It flowed well, and the rhymes were good. Thank you for sharing. RJ
