Little Red Wagon

Marched in step

Toting a little red wagon

Stride carried pep

Dragging that little red wagon

 

Weathered in rust

Creaking in the sun

Covered in dust

It weighs a ton

 

Overburdened by basic trinkets

Remnants of Christmas 05

Macaroni made cumulonimbus

From school days off winchester drive

 

Photo of family for evidence

Not that it means a thing

Victim of malevolence

Thrown out in early spring

 

Winter brought about the cough

Toting a little red wagon

His whole system seems off

Dragging that little red wagon

 

He's feeling old

Went and turned lethargic

Held onto the cold

Wallowing in hardship

 

Deterioration apparent

There's something horribly wrong

Behavior aberrant

His strength is gone

 

Innocence in tow

Holding onto reactionary bliss

Writing name in snow

...Blood marked abyss

 

Death encroaches.

He falls before his little red wagon

A young boy approaches

And steals that little red wagon
