meet me at the sand box quarter past two bring that big ol’ Tonka Truck so you can do that thing you do you’ve got some serious muscle you know what I mean and it pumps me up baby that earth movin’ machine I’m just a hitch hiker longing for the ride pull over by the swing sets let me jump in by your side rev it up honey make that diesel engine roar poundin’ cross those sand dunes until a quarter of four then we’ll dust off our bluejeans and erase our trail sewn tracks and take that big ol’ Tonka Truck in for a deluxe wash and wax s.a.t. |

If this IS part of Wranx' challenge, I would go with Toe, as well. But if this is Susan and her heavy equipment, you just whisked me back to childhood days...and I loved it! |

Oh I miss those so much (the trucks I mean.) With sugar and spice grand(girls,) I have to play all that girly stuff. Very, very cute, and if it is metaphorical - I liked the read I got out of that too Susan, as there is nothing like a reved up motor is there If this is for the challenge - ditto - it's that rascal Toe or maybe, that devilish PoetdeVine. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all art and science. ~ Albert Einstein |

No, not the challenge - Just an idea that popped into my head while talking to a friend - And Mysteria - yes - it most definitely is metaphorical - you know boys and their Tonkas But as far as girls go, my brother bought my daughter her first earth movin dump truck at the age of 2 - ever since she gets a nice blend of nail polish and scraped knees - Thanks ladies - hugs - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

It's been my experience that most boys think their Tonkas are bigger and better than they really are... I enjoyed... "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

ms susan.. hey..this is a naughty poem..I think I want you..(grin) I had a tonka when I was a kid did some serious construction in the sand box then I found the source of tootsie rolls one day and started reusing the wrappers and selling them to the little kids that was before I got into drug dealing and un-organized rhyme |

Thank you all - I'm happy you enjoyed my humor- Yes Susan - you speak truth - side's the size of the Tonka doesn't really matter - it's how much earth they can move Sy and Dark - you two crack me up - randy tonkas and un-organized rhymes - hehe Hugs all - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

True...I have seen little tonkas cause an earthquake and big ones act like its a race... You just never know what Tonka is going to bring the most pleasure to play with. *has a sudden urge to go to ToysRUs* "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

When my son was a babe he sure did love his Tonka toys. Now that he is grown he has larger toys....Snowmobile, motorcyle, trucks (2) This brought back memories. Hugs BonBon |
