My Boy

My boy he goes through stages-

       

one up

Steps:                one up again

         two down

and back to me 

he makes them his obsessions, 

his night and day

his every thought

until

                          he

            finds

                   a

                        new 

    direction

The replacement game:

not too much fun 

for those who are replaced

 

Rules:

my boy

your boy

their boy      one up                             

her boy                    one up

    two down

                                  spin 

                                     the 

                                 wheel 

                             round 

and straight back to me

until the die rolls a

1

and his foot falls flat

on his next stage, his next obsession

confidence is not a question 

he knows that there's always

one step to back him 

my boy and his stages!

So let's play a game

but this time 

I'll make the rules:

one step

 

two steps

leave the step

                              lose

                  the 

                step.

Tired of getting messed with, huh? At least that's what I think it's about. Either that or it's about a young child. I'm going to go with the "older" child. Also, liked the formatting. It fit's nicely with the sentiment and tilt of the word play. A good one, for sure! Thanks for sharing.
