A Boy Enraptured
Maybe it’s the buzz
of the tiny little motor
or the bright
colored balls
that dance inside it’s center
the way it picks up
bits of fluff and dust
magically from the floor
You run it
‘til the battery dies
then rush
to find an outlet for charge
shake
from the inside
waiting
‘til it’s got enough juice to restart
It’s all you wanted
It’s all you asked for
A two-and-a-half-year-old’s
Christmas delight
Forget the candy
all the other toys
right now, this vacuum is
EVERYTHING.

😂 pets and kiddos alike!
It’s always the cardboard box or the wrapping paper tubes, isn’t it?
Enjoyed this one, sir!
I love this! and I just bought one – first time! cannot wait to use it!
Enjoyed this!
You captured his delight with his favorite toy — the vacuum cleaner — just right.
