apologies to Jessica and Reuben
In a room full
of
toys: sit on a
cake tin; play
with a travel
mug.
My niece, Jessica, posted this picture on Facebook, with the accompanying text: 'In a room full of toys, sit on a cake tin and play with a travel mug'. That belongs in a poem, I thought, before realising that, by removing 'and', it already was (a haiku). 'What is childhood?' you might ask. 'In a room full of toys: sit on a cake tin; play with a travel mug'. That. That is childhood.
