Lego


from the ABC set Poems

An endless night,
Boredom sets in.
No book to read,
there is a need.

The lego sits there,
Boxed and taped.
Child’s eyes expectant,
Hoping and patient.

A rush of blood,
It has to be done.
The castle is built,
Finally! no guilt.

Children’s glee,
It’s good to see.
Time well spent,
I should repent.

I’ll get them more
Not one but four
Book to read?
Huh! there is no a need.
