| "Henry and Adele" by Judith Clay |
Henry
was a wide-eyed boy
who
took the world by storm
much
to the chagrin of Mr. Moon
who wouldn’t
shine
to
Henry’s tune
No
matter, though...
this
wide-eyed boy
who
took the world by storm
content
to play for strawberry floats
and
scrabbled eggs
laid
in his moat
