Henry


"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
