~Toy Soldiers~
Living out the rest of
their lives in a crowded
green bin, they come
out when little brother
wants
toy soldiers
each one has a name
with a weapon in hand
and a special talent
toy soldiers
some are missing pieces
of their bodies due to
the enemies, in this case
that would be big brothers
toy soldiers
but they always go back
into the bin, no matter
what, the brothers never
leave a man or woman
behind

No worries Tommie boys will make those noises no matter what age :) I just practiced my...well...Tommy Gun...eat lead doyty rat!
I can definitely empathize. My boys are growing so fast. Lego's, however, are ageless and they hurt sooooooo much when you step on them.

Old soldiers don't mind being relegated to the green bin. As long as our brothers are in there with us! Good one miss tommie.
