Childhood Memories one
I was in the basement, the playroom
that’s where all my toys were, you see
and I had just run in there
after yelling at my family
sitting in the living room
“I hate you”
now, I’ve never said that before to
my family, nor would I ever say
it again I knew better
and I had just run into the playroom
slammed the door shut
I couldn’t have been more than five
and I ran in, and I looked for things
to put in front of the door so they
couldn’t open it and find me
I took one of my chairs
from my little play set
and dragged it over to the door
then I took the little schoolhouse for
Fischer-Price toys, the side opened
up, it had a blackboard and everything
I took that little schoolhouse, put it
on the chair guarding the door
patiently obeying my orders
I was running around looking for
something else I could carry
to the door
when I heard the door knob turn
and my sister, with one arm
pushed all of my toys away
and opened the door
I knew I had been defeated
