Got a new boy today
he’s cute
he’s smart
he listens
Got a new toy today
it’s soft
it’s hard
it threatens
Went home to play today
with boy
and toy
together
He doesn’t like it
the boy
the toy
but obeys
I like the toy
it snaps
it soothes
It’s a joy
the toy
not boy
not yet
He’s afraid
of the pain
the pleasure
of liking it
And he will

I read the poem a couple of times and love the playfulness and the underlying serious tone. I bet he will like it 🙂
