Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 About the Buckle


"I wish I was a Pilgrim," said

My five year old son, Jake, to me,

And asked for a hat on his head

With a shiny buckle there be.

I thought and then I told Jake that

I could take a belt buckle from

A belt and sew it on a hat.

Jake looked a little bothered some,

Like such a plan would not work out.

I tried to reassure, but felt

That Jake was still somewhat in doubt

Using a buckle from a belt.


"Cuz," Jake said to me with a frown,

"I don't want my pants to fall down."
