The Castle By: Lauren Jernberg

She’s a little girl of three years old

Waiting for someone in her bedroom.

She waits for her brother and what he brings,

A box full of blocks and other things.

The little girl gets excited at what she sees.

They play together, it’s their favorite thing.

And the castle gets built for all to see.

There are blocks of all colors soft to touch.

It is beautiful, crisp, and clean.

They go get their mom to show her what they can do.

They are very proud of what they made.

But evil has been lurking around.

Their masterpiece is finally done.

But evil has been lurking around.

Their baby sister knocked it to the ground.

Their mom with them going back to the room.

Their baby sister knocked it to the ground.

But alas, no regret could be found.
