A Child's Play

In the secret sack under my bedThere are anxious kittens meek kittensFerocious kittens who were misunderstood often;Kittens who would like to be chefs and scientists And rock stars all at the same time As they dream under their tattered roof.Theyre a mixed bagBlack or brown ginger or whiteTheyre all kittens who deserve a fair chance. *** ‘A Child’s Play’ is a part of ‘A Crooked Keepsake’ an attempt at safekeeping selections from almost a decade of taking writing less than carelessly.
