A good toy

Gives us much joy

I collect little toy cars

Helps me cover up some of my adult scars

As I collect and think

My mind forgets the times I almost sank

When I use to drank

When I was a real little boy

I never knew the value of a good toy

I was to busy trying to be a man

Messing up and almost ending up in the can

I was in this toys r us

When I heard this big fuss

This one man screamed out

"I don't play with toys " was his shout

I stepped right up with no shame

Told him toys were apart of my adult game

My nephew accused me of being a big kid

His gesture didn't make me mad

He still smokes pot

And drinks alcohol a lot

Almost ends up in jail

I told his young simple tail

If he was lucky enough to live as long as I

And not be a drunk, dope head or anything else negative I now defy

He would be a lucky soul

So if the little boy in me likes collecting so called toys

Like real little boys

Then so be it

If you're to grown to acknowledge the little boy in you

Then you maybe to young to acknowledge the man too

A good balance

Give us a better survival chance

Learn to play

Your own way

Forget what others say

I'm off today

Going to the toy store to play
