#100peoplepoems part 11: Carl

Posting this in the line to board the flight from Toronto: thanks for having us, Carl!

——

 

Imagine a child with a game

He has had a few months:

The novelty hasn’t worn off

But he’s good at it now.

And when cousins come in for a visit 

He just wants to share.

To explain how that bit fits in there

You can win if you save all the cards with a star

If you’re quicker than him on the draw.

It’s his game

But he wants everybody to share

 In the unbridled joy

That he feels every day.

With the game that he just loves to play…

  •  

That’s Carl with Toronto.

He knows all the cheats

The cool little streets, 

The places to eat,

The space travel themed vegan treats…

He’ll show you the way.

Come and play.
