Little Man

 Little Man

John Clare Stokes


I’ve relayed the story before

how when a boy around four

I had a living plastic little man

He was real and I could understand 

what he was saying to me

ruling over the Sopchoppy sand pile wonderfully

When time came to move to Monticello

I looked all about for the little fellow

But sadly we left and ever since 

when I encounter one with resemblance to little man

I put him to my ear

Perchance saying you found me!

Carrying him about again as of old

So much to catch up on.
