Toys Alive
At the end of the hall under the stair
The toy box—silent—near the old rocking chair.
The children tucked in, kissed goodnight,
Stories read, off with the light.
Sshh! What’s that faint stirring out there
At the end of the hall, near the old rocking chair?
Something magical, all’s not what it seems,
Toys Alive? - perhaps it’s a dream!
Sshh! The witching hour, clocks chime,
Toys come out for play time!
All through the night, so much fun,
Then, once more quiet with the rising sun!
Sshh!

| AN ODE TO MOM FROM HER SON My Toy, It Broke Plastic it was, now cracked up the middle Wires came loose, now one needs to fiddle Anger then sad, ready to be junked Oh please won't you work, I'm in such a funk.
That was long ago and I have missed you ever so, My children are all grown, and I've accumulated some dough. I really want that toy, 'cause I really want to play, Here I sit waiting at the door, for I found it on ebay.

| Hail to Marx Oh those toys of yesteryear and the memories we hold dear They swift us back to those carefree days when life was not a stressful maze So hail to Marx and all the rest for those times that were the best This poem was contributed by one of the little boys in this picture and his wife. Thanks guys!

MY JOB
It's not my place to run the train.
The whistle I can't blow.
It's not my place to say how far
the train's allowed to go.
It's not my place to shoot off
steam nor even clang the bell.
BUT let the darn thing jump
the track....AND SEE WHO STARTS TO YELL
