This is for a very little boy in Sharrow, Sheffield whom I saw go through an astonishing range of emotions in about ten seconds. Thanks to some heckling he received from probably his big sister, I know his name.
Abdulnour
Goes down the slide.
At the top,
His eyes are wide
Halfway down,
He’s terrified
Feeling like
He’s nearly died
At the bottom
Beams with pride
One more go?
He can’t decide
Thinks he wants
Another ride…
Abdulnour
Goes down the slide.
