“Put back, put back” Daniel said tearfully. <br />He did not want to put on his shoes <br />but finally with some distraction, OK bribe <br />of cheesy wotsits we made him forget. <br />Forget that he just wanted to rest in the peace of his home <br />and stimulating his desire for crisps <br />we led him by his nose into the world <br />and to his nursery. <br />Put back, put back I said to myself <br />as I closed the door.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/put-back-put-back/
