Boyhood

He balances himself on that
narrow limb as the creek
rushes beneath his feet
He's a warrior in this mighty
jungle and who knows what
foes he'll meet
He steps lightly among the rocks
and trees his slingshot ever to
the ready
With X-Ray vision and the stealth
of a cat his foot is sure and steady
A Ninja warrior lurks about and a
dagger may claim the day
He'll make no sound and snap no
twig as he inches along his way
But suddenly a shadow darts among
the trees and he loads his slingshot
for the kill
Proudly he stands over his conquered
foe and every bit of it was for the
thrill

Your write makes me smile at the child that once was,

How sweet the embrace!

Ty shadow..But of course I'd protect the
maidens with the mighty sling shot. I even
brought down a pact of T-Rex's that stormed
by back yard, but hey, twern't no big thang. Lol.head banger

Ty darkhorse..Bro you appear like the kind of guy that
would accompany me on one of my dangerous expeditions. When doing battle with the King Kongs
of the jungle two sling shots are better than one. Lol.thumbs up

Ty beautifulyou.. Somewhere within the man the nine
year old stands to the ready. Perhaps an executive office
meeting might take a sour turn and voices are raised a
bit to loud. One must be ready to restore order with
that timeless hidden weapon..the Mighty Sling Shot.
Lol.kiss

blood bro. Lol.
