Juvenile Refueler

Ice cream cones are dangerous toys
In the hands of little boys;
Our own can drool a sticky trickle
From taffy-apple or popsicle,
And he enjoys a natural flair
For getting butter in the hair.
He’s almost always in the mood
For flipping, at the table, food.
He plays fast games, or loops-the-loop
With plain and fancy brands of soup;
Groceries, he hasn’t heard,
Are eaten, never throwm or stirred.
But as I watch him, this defeats me:
With what he’s lost, he still out-eats me!
