Mikey and Gavin
By Paul Wilson

Today they shared a secret that no one else knew
Mikey told Gavin, I can talk just like you
How can that be... Gavin said to him
a turtle can’t talk, all they can do is swim

It was Saturday and the grownups were sleeping late
so Mikey and Gavin fixed themselves a snack plate
Mikey and Gavin sat on the sofa watching tv
as he told Gavin…this people food is not for me

What is this stuff called?…Captain Crunch!!
why can’t I have some worms for lunch
I guess I’ll just have what you’re having
Mikey said...sitting on the sofa next to Gavin

After a few minutes things got out of hand
they had a cereal fight… and it was just grand
There was Captain Crunch and milk all over the place
from Mikey and Gavin playing chase

Mikey had found a new friend today for sure
he said as Gavin chased him across the floor
A bond was made that day between them
and he promised he would teach Gavin how to swim

Gavin told him they better get this place straight
his parents would soon get up from sleeping late
i’ll do the dishes Gavin and you clean the floor
about that time they heard a knocking at the door

Looking out the window Gavin said Maw Maw Molly oh no
I forgot she’s taking me to the picture show
Hurry Mikey run and hide
I have to open the door and let her inside

Mikey went back to his home and laid on his log
he fell asleep listening to a crooking bull frog
The rest of his day was peaceful and slow
waiting for Gavin to come back from the picture show


( Gavin is my 5 year old grandson)

What an enjoyable way
to entertain your grandson...
immortalizing him in this way.
This is wonderful, Paul!
