Mr. Potato Head
As
a toddler and a young child
you
were always numero Uno;
your
life was Candy Land,
and
the world was just
a
Barrel Full of Monkeys.
With
watercolors,
finger-paints,
crayons,
and chalk
you
could color your cosmos
any
way you wanted it to be –
no one decreed
you
should stay
within
the lines.
As
you grew older,
perhaps
you discovered Life
could
sometimes be puzzling
and
(whether or not
you
went looking for it)
Trouble might eventually
(inevitably)
find
you.
Sooner
or later you may
(we
hope) wise up to the fact
that
it’s a lot harder
to
Connect the Dots
than
you ever imagined.
p.s.
Some of us are
wondering, in
fact,
if perhaps you’ve
already lost
your marbles.
