Floppy Johnny
Floppy Johnny:
I remember a boyhood friend,
A little boy's companion to the end.
His arms and legs were floppy,
And at night he kept me company.
Just a rag doll.
Long floppy hat,
Triangle jack-o-lantern nose,
Black dye eyes,
Flower covered vest, orange.
Warm my heart.
Make me feel not alone at night,
Ease a little boy's loss of the light.
Tucked in together at Noni's house,
When I was not much bigger than a mouse.
Do you know your ABC's, Johnny?
Give me a snuggle, close our eyes.
Let's dream of flying in the skies.
Airplanes and fancy cars,
Trains and tractor dream stars.
Good night Noni. I gave Nono a hug.

Just remembering an old friend, one that deserves to be remembered.

| This poem is very cute and has alot of sentimental value. I was wondering Dan did you have an astronaut doll when you were a kid too? | |||

| I agree... this's a cute poem. It reminds me of the stuffed dog my son had when he was a child. It ended up all floppy and loved to bits. I stored it away in a box and one day I'll bring it out and show it to him again. Maybe when he's got a young child of his own....:o) | |||
