Busy Bee!

He is always so busy
From morning to night
Driving us all tizzy
With antics so bright

Not he a doctor
Not an ironsmith
Neither is an engineer
Nor any merchant’s kith

What makes him engage?
What pushes him so?
Though he is no savage
Something makes him go

Despite his hyperactivity
He is so lovable
Always with a ditty
He turns the table

What else can he be?
He is only nine
Always full of glee
This nephew of mine


My nine year old nephew, Amlaan, insisted, I write a poem about him. So here it is…it describes him to a T!

    If only we could retain our childhood zest for life and didn't have to discover (UGH!) how hard and bewildering adults make our world.
