Those shorts

with a single suspender.

Grandad likes to tell us that on breezy days

cherubs come down from the sun

And dance, holding on to kite tails

Flowers in the clear sky

of reed and colored paper.

A broken biscuit in my pockets

A fishing rod, skipping down the road

The other kids from around the block

Seek relief from the sun's scorch in the cool ravine.

a little bag of memories

Those shorts

with a single suspender.

with a single suspender.

and a spanking from my mom, but I've got your back.

Those shorts

Playing in the puddles

After the rain stops

Snails and frogs and boys at play

The wind propels

Little paper boats

Lovely to have lived it

To then tell the story.

a little bag of memories

Those shorts

with a single suspender.

Child's play, child's play, child's play.
