ball park

mama and papa
got this inflatable boat thingymajiggy
at the post christmas sales
and only recently
decided to get it out for me
it's sort of a two-in-one toy
whereby they can either fill it with
water as a shallow wading pool
for me to sit in and keep cool
or fill it with these ball-pit balls
and pretend it's the ikea playroom
i enjoy flinging the balls out
and mama frantically running around
flinging them back in
both equally enthusiastic
about our tasks
whilst papa just lies on the couch
and observes from afar... typical bloke!
