Amazing Grace

There is a dinosaur underneath my bed.
He only has one wing.
I still see him flying in my room at night -
spastic eyelid batting in lieu of his missing wing -
being chased by a remote control car.
It drives with a mind of its own.
It doesn't even have any batteries in it,
yet zoom, whir, crash it goes - keeping the dinosaur on its toes.

These broken toys make me crazy,
keeping me awake at night fighting.
Of course no one ever sees them,
so I'm admonished for eating too much sugar at night.

Watching all these antics are green army men.
Of the violence they disapprove.
They hold loud peace rallies protesting the violent car
and dinosaur's fighting: a sort of verbal hippy smiting.
To shelter myself from all this craziness I built
a house out of Lincoln Logs.
Thinking I didn't approve of their messages of peace,
the army men set the house ablaze - so much for their peaceful ways!

These broken toys make me crazy,
keeping me awake at night smoldering.
Of course the mess is mine to clean.
My life would be much easier if I threw these toys away.
