On my way home…
On my way home, I met a man named football,
His skin checkered black and white,
And his chanting voice boomed across the field,
And his legs as sturdy as shin pads,
His arms as broad as goal posts,
And his eyes as big as footballs.
On my way home, I met a girl named nothing,
Her eyes were as black as death,
Her skin was black,
Her voice; black,
And as she faded away he whispered, “I am everything.”
On my way home, I met a boy called Rhyme,
He could rhyme all day and rhyme all night, His eyes rhymed with his blue double denim,
His voice rhymed with his face,
And his arms rhymed with his legs,
But he could never make any rhyming friends.
On my way home, I met myself,
My life flashed before my eyes,
My stuffed toys: Ellie the elephant, Josh the Giraffe and Harry the hippo,
Red Sour patch kids and the sound of the ball making contact with someone’s foot,
And the Beano a year,
It all adds up for a perfect childhood.
