If I were a kid
If I were a kid
instead of a child
I’d call Mum, Nanny
and I’d be wild!
A wild non-child
never keeping still
I’d nibble her handbag
then run for the hills.
If I were a kid
and not just a child
I’d call Dad, Billy
and I’d be wild!
A wild non-child
always butting in
I’d kick up a fuss,
and wear a silly grin
But I am what I am,
and that’s all I can be
except on those days
when it’s plain to see…
The child in the kid.
The kid in the child.
Each a little bit tame,
Each a little bit wild!

Like the poem, wonder who the poet is.
Jane Williams wrote it. I was a little quick off the mark to click on Publish.I’ve made amends.
