Poetry: Child's play

by Morton Templeton

Created on: April 24, 2008

I sit and watch my children play
with Star Wars in their hands
I think back to when I was young
we had our cowboy guns
and Indian feathers

Lazar blast
snaps be back

I watch the universe explode
I think
this is the end
as arrows besiege the fort
But alas the
force is here and lasers
finally cease

And now the bugle blows
reinforcements have arrived



I sit and watch my children
with smiles upon their faces
I smile too
