William The Conqueror

William conquered in his little war

His battles are brief since he’s only four.

–

He setup his toys on opposing sides

With a few reserves he craftily hides.

–

He sounds off a “charge”

And sounds a barrage.

–

The toys fight and fall

As William carefully crawls.

–

Narrating the battle as it rages on

Until all his stand toys and reserves are gone.

–

Examining the battlefield he squeals out “Yes!”

Then he opens his closet and toy chest.

–

Picking up the carnage he puts them all away

Until tomorrow, with a new war he’ll play…
