Poetry and artwork - Henry Denander

Just like that
 

 

I was exactly the same
when I was a child,
my wife says when our
six year old son does something
charming or intelligent.

And every time he does something
stupid or does not obey
I ask my wife if she was also
like that when she was a child.

And I know what she will say.
