Action in the Playpen

politically correct or not
those playpens work,
just when your
two-year-old seems
content, that's when
he darts
drifts
boogies
out the door
in front of speeding cars
or bicycles,
0r pogo sticks, but
who cares?
they're speeding and
a little tyke might
be hurt bad, but those old
playpens,
my god, what
an invention
a life-saver
a safe place
to store the kid
while you
shower
shave
use deoderant
or just plain
put your
feet up--relaxing
like you deserve it.

I know I know
the pens sound like
pens
for cows or ponies
or squirrels
but listen up:
they work!

A powerful pen you've written about. A child's safety is paramount. Well said.

God bless you. Kathy

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
